Ready to start our workshop on the hidden curriculum in doctoral education & how relationships during the PhD can support @myBCUresearch@STEAMhouseUK@DtaReps
Prof John Gardner's talk: a working-class life and job as a mechanic with romantic era poetry as a hobby. Eventually that was reversed and now machines are the hobby and poetry is the job. History and literature is full of the connections between machines and literature.
Today DTA researchers are listening to Prof John Gardner discussing ‘Engineering Romanticism: Intersections between literature and Engineering’ (Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship)’
...starting with some very useful realities of funding streams.
Fascinating seminar led by Professor Rachel Julian, Future Societies supervisor at LBU, on participatory research methods, challenging the 'hard to reach' assumptions that surround marginalised communities. The phrase 'nothing about us, without us,' was poignant.
At our fantastic Autumn Connect the Doctoral Training Alliance researchers learned about the global history and economy of coffee, whilst drinking sustainable coffee...it went down well.
DTA Autumn Connect is an opportunity for DTA researchers to come together in the first semester of 2022/23. Please register your attendance by 16 October in Eventbrite ; full details of locations and timings will be provided to those who register in the coming weeks.
Our next @UA_DTA case study is Ana Tendero Cañadas, a PhD student @uniofbrighton, who is a MSCA DTA3/COFUND fellow.
