Hello! still trying to figure out how to use Mastodon, what kind of things post about etc.
What can I help with?
Iβm doing a PhD without an academic background, so have had to build up my knowledge management system and study skills from scratch (and I know a thing or three about economic barriers & imposter syndrome). Happy to share my learning with any other PhD newbies (or greybeards!).
Practice research is a tricky beast and Iβm helping to chair our university research group, where weβre trying to define frameworks and a language that can be understood between artists and more βcanonicalβ or empirical researchers, to build trust and support.
I also have ADHD and was recently diagnosed, which makes PhD study both incredible and difficult in equal measure. Happy to chat to anyone grappling with ND in academia.
nice blog post from the AHRC on supporting #practiceResearch

Jenny Evans and team at Westminster Uni have a done a really great job of presenting #practiceresearch: clear research statements/context/narrative, does anyone know of similar efforts in other practice disciplines? What might a music version look like.
