Academic milestone unlocked - I've been cited!!

#PhD #PhDVoice #Research #Publication #CiteMe

My first love in life was literature and writing. Over the past decade, it has been an on/off relationship, but I returned to creative writing more consistently this year, and braved doing a thing! Excited to have a couple of poems accepted for publication in the next issues of Interfere Journal.

Off to be a proper social worker for the day. It's been a wee while...

@socialworkerswb.bsky.social

Phenomenal way to start the @ctsgbrighton.bsky.social #BoxBreakers conference with an insightful talk from @kevinguyan.bsky.social about data, labels, and active resistance to being defined by a box.

I don't think this is talked about enough - how incredibly validating the #QualitativeInterviewing process can be for the #Researcher, when the people for whom the research is intended talk about the value they see in your work.
This is the motivation that gets me through the bleakest #PhD days.

Inspired by the diverse, interesting and important work of my @ctsgbrighton.bsky.social, unified by their interest in people and enabling #SocialChange! With the state of global politics, it feels like a huge privileged to have this space, and the work itself - an ongoing act of #Resistance.

#CallForParticipants

If you work with people who have experienced #DomesticAbuse and/or #MordenSlavery, I'd love to hear from you: b.tomsett1@uni.brighton.ac.uk

#PhD #Research

An interesting first for me today: after 11 on-line interviews, I am conducting my first 'in-person' one.
Invested in a little voice recorder, and now feeling like a proper professional researcher.

Delight to have been invited to present at the Bakhita Centre 10th anniversary conference taking place at St Mary's University, Twickenham on 6-7 February.
I will be presenting my doctoral #research on a panel looking at the intersection between #ModernSlavery and #DomesticAbuse.

#PhD #PhDVoice

On the 3rd day of Christmas, #SagePublishing gave to me... a volume and issue number for my inaugural paper!
And what better way to celebrate the end of 2024 than by sharing my proudest academic achievement to date with you all again: lnkd.in/epJtRevb

Such a privilege to speak to the Pan-Sussex Voices of Lived Experience Board about my research today.
