In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This episode is part of Season 4, where we are focussing on Careers with Research. In this episode your host Ruth Winden is joined by Marianne Talbot.
Marianne chose to become a postgraduate researcher at the University of Leeds in mid career, whilst carrying on with her successful career in educational training and consulting. Marianne's specific area of expertise is in assessment in secondary school education and training educationalists to reach chartered status with the Chartered Institute of Assessors.
As a self-funded, remote PhD candidate with limited opportunity to come onto Campus regularly, Mariane represents researchers who are keen to do high-level research whilst using technology to maximise their PGR experience and engage with their researcher communities.
Listen to our conversation about
- The pros and cons of being a mature PGR
- What you need to think about before committing to doing a PhD
- Inductions, and why a personalised approach that recognises mature PGRs' rich and varied professional backgrounds could make a big difference to researchers feeling recognised
- How universities and departments can create a stronger sense of community, belonging and engagement with their PGRs
- The value of life experience in research
- How to pro-actively seek out opportunities for research interaction and collaboration, wherever you are based.
