    Episode 30: Damn, I have to teach?!

In this episode, the PhDamn divas talk all things teaching in academia - from prep, to pay and to our own philosophies.

    Episode 28: Damn, are PhD students financial 'Loss Leaders'? (featuring Charlotte)

    WARNING: This episode contains moderate rage. Things get spicy as we continue our deep dive into babyfication - aka infantilisation - in academia. This time, we’re joined by our fabulous friend Charlotte, who brings her unique insight as a local authority practice-based PhD researcher. Together, we unpack what it means to be "babyfied" in academic spaces in the UK, from the way PhDs are conceptualised by universities and how we're dubbed by senior staff as "[financial] loss leaders". Some of the keywords and abbreviations we used: ESRC - Economic and Social Research Council who fund PhDs in these disciplines GTA - Graduate teaching assistant Local Authority - local government responsible for providing services in the area of the UK that you live in PGR - Postgraduate researcher aka a PhD or research masters student RTSG - Research and Training Support Grant REF - Research Excellence Framework Learn more about Doctoral Local Authority Fellowships here: https://www.nihr.ac.uk/nihr-doctoral-local-authority-fellowship-dlaf-guidance-notes-round-4

    Episode 26: Damn, am I a red flag?! - The Flag Game episode

    In this episode, we dive into some hypothetical PhD scenarios and label them with red, yellow, or green flags. From dodgy supervisor behaviour to panicking over harsh feedback, nothing is off-limits. And of course we like to tussle, so be prepared for heated discussion! Whether you're navigating the smooth or stormy seas of your PhD journey, we hope you laugh, relate, and maybe even rethink your own academic red flags! Comment your red or green flags below!
