These photos are breathtakingly beautiful. The archive is art 😍

2. Work Attire didn't increase power.
3. Mixed Attire didn't led to psych or work-related benefits

Thank you to everyone at @RHULGeography and beyond for all the support, patience and good humour. It takes about seven villages to complete a PhD so I am so, so grateful to you all #phdchat #PhDone

Huge congratulations to @LawnKaty whose PhD at @RHULGeography I examined this week (w @ProfMartinP). Passing with no corrections, it’s a wonderful exploration of how staying with workplace boredom allows us to reflect on meaning and purpose. A total pleasure to read/talk about!

This is fascinating - "This scholarship programme is an experiment with serious intentions – how can you turn a society that is structured around achievements and accomplishments on its head?”
