@cindytutiven Around 6 months to prepare, from initial conversations to submitting for internal uni review. It came back with internal comments and we submitted to ESRC a few months later. I think 3-4 months for review comments, and the outcome 4 months after our response. Hope that helps?

It’s been less than a hundred years since women in Britain have had the right to vote. This Manchester banner was unfurled in 1903 - it would be 25 years before the suffragettes’ dream was finally realised. Make sure you use that hard-won right today!

Hive mind: does anyone have any good recs for organisational apps that integrate to-dos and calendars? Considering Monday/Notion, would love to hear any positive experiences or recommendations (esp from anyone with a highly distractable brain)!
