Good Monday afternoon everyone!   I am successfully back from my little cycling/gravel adventure and it was absolutely unbelievable. We had sunshine, breathtaking climbs & views, lots of snacks (I am now proficient at unwrapping and eating about anything while riding a bike), lovely chats and many, many hours on our saddles spinning away. Great […]

Happy Thursday to everyone – the week is coming to an end & I am absolutely buzzing because I have a friend fly over on the weekend and we’ll go cycle around Scotland a little (photos to follow in the next blog post) + it’s well sunny in Edinburgh today so I have decided to […]

Hello everyone, how are you? I hope (for anyone in Edinburgh) that you are enjoying some of the sunshine we had this week & that the semester is going along well. I think we are all currently trying to juggle all the various deadlines and amongst all that I have come to realise that I […]

Hello everyone, how have you been? I hope you are all getting to enjoy the flexible learning week a little – I pleasantly realised that this meant my intensives were a week later (luckily I did realise, haha) and that I can slow down a little bit 🙂 However, I do have some KIPP-related updates […]

Week 4 seems to have been absolutely flying and reflecting upon it that is almost maybe my doings – Wednesdays were dedicated to our lecture & then PhD interviews and Thursday was a celebratory day for my partner who finished his educational training.

Wow isn’t it mad how this is already the end of week 2? – I do have to admit that this semester there was no faffing about – just getting STRAIGHT INTO IT and thus we are in week 2 going on 3!   I think a little reflection of our module “Inclusive Societies” & […]

An academic said to me today „The joys of academia are that you never quite know what’s going on. And once you figure it out, you are confused again” – and I think this is a great start back into the semester folks! I hope everyone had a lovely break, well-deserved relaxation, and some refreshing […]

Hello hello everyone, how are you all? I hope you are holding up or even already done with the semester. And even if you are not – keep calm, the holidays are close. Christmas ahoy! 🙂 Since the holidays are coming up & the semester is wrapping up, I thought I’ll write a short wee […]

Good Friday afternoon to y’all. As mentioned in my last post I certainly need some time and inspiration and to jiggle my different research ideas a little bit around, modify them, see how they might align with potential PhD ideas I have (or have seen online). But anyway, I will give it a go – […]
