Leaving @SRHE73 Conference 2023 @AstonUniversity quite tired but full of new knowledge and ideas about research in the higher ed field! It was amazing to present some of my research for the first time (with a conceptual paper on Habermas and the political role of the uni) (🧵1/2)
(2/2) ...as well as to connect with researchers in the field both familiar and new! Coming away with a long list of future reading and some ongoing work to keep an eye on!
It's short but it's a start! Great to see my first ever published academic piece in @SEA_journal - thanks to @JonathanTummons for the opportunity to review a really interesting bit of work outside of my traditional comfort zone:

FINAL CALL - I am still looking for a small number of individuals who plan on completing Arctic expeditions this spring, who maybe prepared to support my final PhD study. Really really would appreciate any RTs or sharing... I will endeavour to pay forward the kindness too #polar
POLAR RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS REQ.
Are you planning to complete a physical Polar expedition or scientific placement (Arctic or Antarctica) in the next 18 months. Would you be interested in supporting my research project examining resilience and thriving during your placement?
On the afternoon of Wednesday 30th we will be doing a PGR teach out!
If you're a striking Durham PGR and would like to talk about your research/discipline at this event please DM @lucylarajohnson!
I'm looking for NE organisations who work with young and/or LGBTQ to support me with this participatory research project on getting support 'when things go wrong' in relationships. Please get in touch if you think you can help and share with friends and colleagues 1/4
ALT Purple background Poster with title: Looking for organisations that work with LGBTQ young people.
Inside a blue box is the heading: What is the project?
Below is the text: We want to improve access to appropriate help for LGBTQ young people if they experience domestic abuse.
In this participatory action research project, young LGBTQ people (as co-researchers) will decide on what issues we focus on, how we research them, and how we make an impact with the data that we find (with my support!).
Could you share this opportunity with young people you work with?
In bold: Please get in touch with me for more information.
DM me or email caitlin.a.jobson@durham.ac.uk.
Wonderful (if a bit surreal) to matriculate today for the *third* time into @durham_uni for my PhD - this time at the head of @StChadsDurham postgrad students as MCR President 💚💚💚 seems a very long time since the first one in 2018!

Because apparently, treating higher education students as partners and ensuring they are able to represent each other is an optional extra rather than something in the character of English HE.
Imagine if being a student at Durham and being needlessly mean to the SU officers becomes a proper career strategy. Or, alternatively, imagine being a Pound shop Harwood. I can't call which it is yet.
