Quarter Nine: October 2020 – Dec 2020

The start of my last year and life gets in the way again. The first round of practice is completed, and I had planned for a couple of months of reflection and writing up time. However, a change in life circumstances and the ever-evolving response to the global pandemic means it’s time to adapt again. Which leads me to think about the constant need to adapt during a PhD. Research leads to new discoveries, which leads to new outlooks, new paths to explore. A PhD is not a static thing and should always be changing until you hand it in.

I’m joined in conversation by Dr Josephine Coleman of Brunel University who is an academic with a great interest in Community Radio in the UK as well as being the beating heart of the MeCCSA Radio Studies Network. We talk about Community Radio and Jo shares her (very useful) tips for surviving a PhD.
