And the sun sets on another #StrathEdD MELS day. Lots of interesting chat about being active in the reading and writing process and input into what makes good systematic review questions. Lovely to see some of last year’s cohort sharing their experiences 👏👏 @strath-ioe.bsky.social

Second induction for the #StrathEdD today (part timers today, full timers last Thursday). Lovely to start conversations about the entanglement of theory and practice @StrathEDU

Great day, as always. Head is currently on spin cycle #StrathEdD

It was an #StrathEdD day today, first day of ARMTP. Great to get everyone together. Lots of big thinking about what comprises quality within a line of enquiry and what ensures alignment. Now for a reward…

Great @strath-ioe.bsky.social StrathPGR session with @ProfCRobinson on the puzzles of methodology this morning. Spent the afternoon in the company of my #StrathEdD buddies outlining my methodology chapter and considering positionality. Productive day after a week of leave.

Love a #StrathEdD reading week!

That #StrathEdD moment where you read a paper that you once would have accepted at face value but now has you all 🔥 fired up #No #YesAnd #YourContext #TheresMoreToIt #Exclusionary. Now I’m off to a Saturday morning @strath-ioe.bsky.social Doctoral Support Session on structuring your writing

A big shout out to the @StrathEDU PGR students #StrathEdD #StrathEduPGR who are starting their winter writing retreat today. 3 days organised by the wonderful Sharon Hunter to share targets, thoughts and, most importantly, write👏👏👏👏👏👏

Another great day of learning and a big thank you for the library input from Sarah. Your knowledge is incredible! #StrathEdD

End of Day 3 of MELS for this cohort of #StrathEdD. Today we’ve been focusing on the method of systematic reviewing and how to generate outcomes while being reflexive about your positioning - not much then!

Another positive update in the #StrathEdD community. I've just received confirmation that revisions were completed successfully and so another award confirmation. Congratulations Dr Scholes - you worked hard for this and we are very very chuffed for you!

Perfect weather conditions for a #StrathEdD Saturday. Online PGR writing group this morning, followed by an afternoon at my desk working on my thesis. I know it makes me a geek to be excited about this but I’m embracing my aca-geek! Keeeeep writing.✍️
