I can't wait to see this in print, it's a real break from the mould with chapters on topics you don't usually see in textbooks, but which speak volumes to the realities of quali research. Proud to be a part of it!

.@ThatSaraGoodman and I are very excited to announce that Doing Good Qualitative Research, an edited volume that provides accessible and practical advice for conducting qualitative research from start to finish, is coming soon from OUP!

A thought for #IWD - I assumed the 'motherhood penalty' was inevitable for me due to mat leave/PT working affecting career progression/pay. This is only the case if promotion criteria fail to recognise the significant transferable skills I have accrued in unpaid mothering time.
