Islam and I were introduced by Erin Hattamer who is pairing families with people who are willing to champion their causes. Since then, Islam and I have been in constant contact. They were vetted by Operation Olive Branch.
Hi Ellie. I have just found your RU-vid post. I am in Australia and your commentary resonates with me. I worked in academia for 12 years on casual contracts. I was generally employed twice a year on a 10 week contract. I taught three courses (Australian History, Australian Studies and International Relations). I also physically taught across three campuses and sometimes two campuses on the same day. With tenure disappearing due to casualization and being told I needed to research and publish to bring funds into the university it was very discouraging. I left academia in 2006 and was fortunate enough to make a career in the public sector. It is very hard on peoples lives and mental health. I hope that things worked out for you and you family. Cheers
I am SO in love with your channel! I am a Classics PhD Student and I came into it looking for ideas to improve my research. I work on Greek Religion as well! Your channel is amazing, thank you so much. And if you like, we could exchange experiences <3
Summary: *A tiny book for notes. *The bigger book with a good layout for the rest of the stuff. *Referencing, lots of referencing, cross referencing. - Page numbers *WHATS THE DIGITIZE THING?
Ellie, this is wonderful! I am writing my literature review for my dissertation proposal, and this presentation is truly helpful. I love handwriting notes and was trying to figure out how to integrate handwritten notes with those taken in Zotero and with OneNote. The coding system you use and the digitizing process is exactly what I needed to learn. Thank you.
I would like to organize my research & notes over the laptop or phone rather than in a notebook, to save up paper & accumulating physical notebooks! ;-)
I feel that I am weird because I can close my eyes and Invision all types of things that are helpful to and for me. I can imagine scene changes to Hollywood movies and Broadway shows that I have viewed. I can even imagine characters in chapters of books as characters in the roles of movies. These movies do not exist at this time, but I hope they will oneday become films.
Could you give some tips on: 1) surviving a conference without sleep? Ie Too anxious to sleep the night before presenting; 2) getting savaged in the question time immediately after giving the paper and 3) speaking gobbldigook whilst presenting (bring so anxious that you muddle up word order etc)?
you know, at the end of your video, youtube did the whole, watch this video next thing, which I stopped PDQ, as I wanted to comment here but that was the 'being precarious in the UK' video you did from a while back. And you know, the difference between then and now, in terms of what you look like, really hit home. You look HAPPY now, and that's affected you physically in a way that is just wonderful to see :) Hope it continues!!! I won't be doing any reviewing of my year just yet. I do that between xmas and new year every year. Last year I did the compass book which was really good, so I'm doing that again this year (yearcompass.com/ for what I'm on about - it's free if you want to give it a go!)
Hi Ellie , I got in at Manchester Met Uni 👍👍 just out of hospital after a tummy tuck🕺 I have 2 dogs n live reading !! I’m hoping for a further assessment in January re eupd. I’m glad to see you uploading videos they’re really interesting 👍👍🤗🤗🕺🕺💗

im an anthropology major and it sounds incredibly interesting (and upsetting as well??) ! Next year I have some optative subjects and I wish we had something related to power and violence... Ill look it up again just in case. We were studying in gender perspectives a feminist author who talks about development policies joan w scott and I found it very interesting (I feel like I find everything interesting 😂😂😂) I love watching videos like this, specially since I dont know many people who study subjects like this. wish you the best !
I start in January 👍 just compiling a portfolio 💼 geeeee it’s taking hours. My MSc is Mental Health Nursing at Manchester 👍👍 please keep posting I think it will be good to connect
Im reading 'White Fragility' by Robin Diangelo as well. Very liberating to read her work as she allows the reader to understand why we need to talk about white supremacy and the terrible things it has committed and continues to commit everyday. Unapologetically too! Thanks for the upload!
I came here after your recent tweet. It's helpful to see a recent SOAS PhD student describing her journey. I've started this year having done my MA and BA here too. I can sense the impending descent into depression and I have barely started. I am determined not to let that happen by organising my social life as carefully as my academic work. Thank you for this. I'll be looking at more of your content and be in touch.
HEA Associate Fellowship Hello Ellie, thanks for sharing your thoughts re HEA Fellowship. It would be great if you could post a link to your successful application. Working in education throughout the years has involved membership of numerous professional/academic bodies which are either desirable if not essential by the institutes I have worked for. I am hesitant to take on yet another membership but as you mention many UK institutes require this before they even consider you for an interview. Thank you for sharing.
I cannot stop watching your videos...i know this is an old video but I watch for motivation. School just started this week. I'm almost at the end of my 2nd Master's. And I need to set up an academic journal this helps a lot. Quick question off topic. I am studying Koine Greek. Have tried in undergrad but need it now for my degree, plus I am more mature this time and I am super excited. Do you have any tips or hints on learning Greek? Possibly a video? I know everyone says flashcards, flashcards, flashcards which I have started but is there any other "tools" or ideas that would help. Maybe how you learned greek.
