Being Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable: Lessons from a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) in Türkiye

Ian Hall at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) in Türkiye Blog post written by: Ian Hall Attending a NATO ARW in Türkiye last month was an exercise in learning how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Becoming an Insider: Research, Language and Identity

Starting a doctorate is about more than timetables, systems and introductions. It is also about beginning to inhabit a new identity: that of a researcher. This week I was privileged to spend four days with over 20 people from across the world at an induction event hosted by Dr Xose Rosales and his amazing team from the Graduate School. It was a week of new beginnings and the creation of a new identity as a postgraduate researcher at UON....
