As I find myself now nearly 8 months out from my PhD (or the viva anyway), I am becoming ever more aware of the difficulty in choosing direction. For me it feels like there is a mysterious dilemma in research, there is this line somewhere that, one one side, you stay centred and become an

I always struggled with my plans for this part of the website. It feels important to have the blog but, as a self publishing platform it felt “messy”. I have always wanted a place designed for reading articles of literary pursuits whilst having a less formal area for all of the other adventures that occupy

Before a very quick exploration of the topic of Fashion History here are some brief excuses for the prolonged absence of posting. I will create a post about my adventures at some point but, October was a busy month most notably my first time attending a workshop and this is the experience most certainly worth

Today’s post is yet more evidence of why scrolling through EventBrite can pay off (well sort of, only 1 event from this crawl was found there).

My intention was to post last week however, as the title suggests, I was visited by a rather unwelcome guest. With last week lost to my second experience of COVID-19 (10/10 do not recommend), I will now spend this post trying to remember all of my thoughts from 2 weeks ago. On the 18th May

Last week I took some time out of some all-consuming writing (also why there was no post last week) to take part in the first of a new series of Research Roundtable sessions (follow the link to find out more should accounting research discussions be your forte). The first session looked at ‘Broadening the boundaries
