S2 Ep8: Liam Markey – Inaccessible data sets & discussing the politics of funding Sustainable and Resilient Cities: Liverpool
-
- 社会科学
Today Abi and Ronnie are joined by fellow SSPC PGR student Liam Markey. Liam’s PhD is a collaborate project with the British Library, which looks to chronicle the last 100 years of British ‘military victimhood’ following the First World War, through both print and digital cultural artefacts in the British Library collection.
Liam’s research involved monthly visits to the British Library in London to access hard copies of datasets, which inevitably changed as a result of the initial lockdown in March and on-going restrictions since. In this episode we talk through the difficulties this has caused Liam in terms of his academic work and how he’s adapted to these changes.
Later in the episode we open up a discussion around the financial implications of the COVID19 pandemic, first through reference to Liam’s experience before talking about the difficulties currently faced by PhD students more widely, and the ongoing issues around funding.2
