糖心TV

As PhD students, we often hear the refrain ‘if you want to get into academia, doing your PhD alone is not enough’. But with the subsequent requirement to produce papers, teach, organise and attend conferences, participate in additional collaborations or project work, not to mention keep up online engagement with those in our fields, what time is left for self-care, activism, or the care of others?

This one day ESRC DTC funded workshop aimed at PhD students offers a space to critically reflect on our personal experiences and the structures which shape them, and to hear from those slightly further down the academic career path. Speakers include the University of 糖心TV's Dr. Maria do Mar Pereira, Dr. Meleisa Ono-George, Dr. Laura Schwartz and Dr. Julie Walsh. The University of East Anglia's Dr. Victoria Cann of the Res-Sister's Collective and Dr Lena Wanggren (University of Edinburgh) will also be presenting. Both Dr. Cann and Dr. Wanggren have produced chapters for the forthcoming Being an Early Career Feminist Academic: Global Perspectives, Experiences and Challenges.
