Academic Activities as a PhD Student | University of Birmingham
Hey wonderful humans!
Today I'm talking about all the extra stuff you can get involved with while doing a PhD - ranging from writing articles for journals to teaching on a module!

My name's Lucy and I'm a humanities student focusing on queer romance novels of 21st century, so obviously this won't be the same as science people. Also everything I say is my own opinion! If you have any questions about PhD life or studying at UoB feel free to leave a comment or contact me on social media.

I’m glad you found them useful ☺️
In terms of writing articles, how it is it generally instigated? Do you write to a journal offering to write? Or do you wait for an academic to offer a co-authoring opportunity?

So it can happen in a number of ways, I would say the two most common are 1.being approached by another academic to co-author an article (they might already know who they want to submit it to or you’ll work together to see who could be interested). 2. You see a call for papers - perhaps a journal is doing a special edition on a certain theme - you can then write an article (or possibly an abstract/outline to start depending what they ask for) and see if it gets accepted ☺️ You can of course write an article by yourself based on whatever you want and see if any journals would be interested but as PhD student I would say that is less common
