“You’re not alone”: Early lessons from the DProf journey
This blog draws on a reflective conversation between two second-year practitioner-scholars, Kate and Katy, who spoke candidly about their first-year experiences on the DProf programme. Their discussion offered valuable insights into the emotional, intellectual and practical shifts that new PGRs often encounter. By blending their voices with supportive theory, this blog aims to reassure, guide and encourage those who are just beginning their own DProf journey.

First week of freelance/consultant life...
Had some cool chats with different people, chatted about some interesting projects/opportunities, continued to write/publish on the Substack, did some work on the DProf, swam 1.5 miles and did some yoga.
