We are a collective of PhD students from the Midlands who are researching complex and emotionally demanding topics across the social sciences. We have a diverse range of interests and methodological skills both in qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
We are aimed at PhD students within the MGS ESRC DTP, however we accept members from across the midlands to allow for a greater exchange of knowledge, skills and support throughout the Midlands.
