In Part 1 of this post I set out the incredible value that I have earned from a small group of my peers, individually and collectively, along my pathway to PhD that continues into my post-PhD life. For me, this value may be itemised in a number of categories including (in alphabetical order), belonging, community,Continue reading “Reflecting with a purpose – part 2”
