I know this is a stressful time for many and if you are interested but do not feel that you can take part immediately, please get in touch as interviews can happen anytime between now and September.
We're planning online events/groups to help create a virtual community of PGRs in #geography & related disciplines to share resources, network, & support each other during #PhD research. Would this be something of interest? Please RT & let us know what might be useful!

I hope prospective students remember these university names, (& ones that will follow). These places only care about short term 💰. They don't care about students, they don't care about staff; they don't even think of them as people. Just income & costs. theguardian.com/education/20…

Hundreds of university staff to be made redundant due to coronavirus

Staff in cleaning services have been rota’ed in for the next few months (even during the university lockdown), and were told by managers that if they don’t come into work, they will be disciplined. 😤 #hellobrum #birmingham #covid19 #pmqs #highereducation #joinin @zarahsultana

As an ethics committee, we have produced COVID-19 guidance for students doing empirical projects. For many it will require suspending data collection, moving to online platforms, or redesigning projects. Here are some resources & examples for qualitative projects (1/n)

Just going to highlight that UoB women’s network holding a session on ‘how to be a good ally’ for #IWD2020 ON A STRIKE DAY is so backwards it’s borderline comical
