Hey wonderful humans,

I'm currently doing a PhD in English Literature at the University of Birmingham, so most of my channel revolves around that! Always happy to offer advice on doing a PhD and hopefully my videos will demystify the process.

Sometimes have a smattering of travel videos and also LGBT+ stuff (but it's mainly PhD)

    This is all great advice, thank you for sharing. A lot of your tips were actually super helpful for my interview - especially the advice about rereading your proposal. I applied back in Jan, and was interviewed 6 months later, so in that time I had done a lot of reading and my ideas had developed a lot further.

    Hi lucy, Thanks a lot for your video. I had my phd interview today. It went really well but i am so concerned about the supervisor. I feel i didn't get a good vibe. He didn't respond to any of my emails before the interview. During the interview, I was answering a question and i said do you want me to elaborate? He said, yes that's the whole point of the question. Also at the end when i asked about his supervising style, he said he grows with his students, he doesn't know everything. The topic i applied for hadn't been done by him before. I am so anxious 😢

    Thank you for sharing your personal experience, I found it very insightful and inspiring. I am currently doing my dissertation on experiences of navigating HE for students with dyslexia! To break down the negative stereotypes that are commonly associated with dyslexia we need more people like you who have the confidence to talk about your personal experiance in a transparent and coherent way. Very good job!!

    Easily the most helpful video on KZread about a humanities PhD. There's heaps about the sciences which have some helpful takeaways, but your channel has been a lifeline. It's so motivating to know that someone else know's what my PhD is like. Thanks for adding value, Lucy!❤

    Hi, I am a full-time lecturer in FE but want to do PhD full time, is this possible? I don't want to wait 6/7 years to complete it.

  • @chloe_steward
    @chloe_steward8 ай бұрын

    A full time PhD takes 40 hours a week on average. If you can for in 30-40 hours of creative, deep thinking, go for it. But I'd suggest dropping down to 20 hours a week paid work (MAX) so manage a full time PhD.

    I'm thinking in my second semester in Feb 2023 of my first year of my degree. My mental health (Anxiety, ADHD) has not been great since December 2022 also and I'm considering talking to an academic mentor to focus on exercise and diet for maybe 3 months. I will make my decision in about 7 days after having a week from Uni. I want to lower stress levels and come back stronger.

    I know this video is old but I just want to let you know that it helped me a lot. All through my studies at uni I have been drowning in my research whenever I need to write a paper, because I never learnt how to organize the stuff that I read and my notes. I just highlight a bunch of stuff and hope I remember it when I need it (which obviously isn't working well) I do use a different program for citations just because my uni recommends it and we have workshops to teach us the program, but the basics of the connections between the citation software and the notes documents is what I was missing. Thank you so much for this video!

    I'm a dyslexic/dyscalculic. I face more bigotry from my ASD diagnoses than my dyslexia. I have perfect pitch and I play 6 instruments, but being talked down to me is insulting.

    Hey1 Great video! I graduated in July with.a BA Hons Theatre Performance and Production (Top-up) Degree. I also have dyslexia and dyspraxia. I had been performing from the womb and can't see myself doing anything else. Prior to this, I studied at Lamda (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) to be one of their Drama workshop leaders, that was how I got accepted into my current degree. While I was at university, I created my own workshop idea called the 'Neuroclusive' workshop, which is predominantly acting, but it teaches about memorisation and uses skills that could be used in Life. Because I have been an actor before this, I picked so many tips and things and its now been made into a workshop through the help of my university degree, So yep! IT CAN BE DONE!! We can show those neurotypicals, how it's done!!
