Five Days in Rome (Day 3)

This is Day 3 of five days visiting Rome for the Northern Bridge Winter School.  I'm very lucky that Northern Bridge provides me with funding that means I can do a PhD.  I'm in year one of that.   Along with about 14 colleagues, we are at the British College in Rome.  If you missed … Continue reading Five Days in Rome (Day 3)

The Writing Groove

I've been thinking about writing a post for a few weeks. It's not the one I intended to write. It has been 3.5 months since I started a PhD at Queen's University, Belfast and everything is about writing.

The Everydayness of Living to Work…

Living to Work, Working to Live... I'm unsure who coined that pithy phrase but it captures, in its own imperfect way, the dilemma many of us feel about the position of work in our lives; lives for which we have high expectations which 'work', most often, defies with its very everydayness.
