August 2011 – This is a new Post Category which will become the home for a monthly (we hope) newsletter with an update on the news relating to the LTE Doctoral Community.
The seven-week stretch of online Semester 2 comes to a close with the prospect of two weeks of Easter ‘break’ ahead before we resume again on 12th April. It’s been a hard stretch for all of us I think, and this relatively quiet fortnight ahead is welcome. But it’s been a productive time too … Viva Success … To begin with […]

Read moreHi Everyone I am trying to keep on schedule with a monthly newsletter. What’s new? The series of Lantern talks has now become quite firmly established as a weekly affair, with recent talks by: PhD alumni Magdalena De Stefani (who got up early for us in Uruguay and the birdsong on her patio in the early hours of a Montevidean […]
Read moreA (belated) Happy New Year to everyone – may it end more kindly than it began. Things to look forward to this year include: a steady stream of researchers moving, at slightly different speeds, towards the finish line (e.g. Ivy, Felix, Sue, Helen, and Huran) a new series of LANTERN alumni/associate talks (see below) further work developing the idea of […]
Read moreHi Everyone I am trying to get back into regular, monthly Newsletters. Although this is a strange time of ongoing pandemic, there is quite a bit of news. First, congratulation to Ivy and Felix on their new appointments as Senior Tutors within MIE, and congratulations, too, to Olga for her Teaching award from her university students in Moscow. These awards […]
Read moreWell, it’s been a long time (five years) since I posted a Newsletter. I never intended to leave it so long … but one thing led to another … In recent years, this LANTERN community has been spurred on by others (Eljee, Susan, Nahielly, and Min especially, to whom a big Thank You is long overdue), and as they have […]
Read moreI am sitting on a patio, drinking coffee in the early morning sunshine in southern Spain, high up in the mountains but looking in the distance to the Med, reflecting on all that has happened recently and is set to happen soon. First of all, this is the moment to again congratulate all our new doctors: —- from the D […]
Read moreWhere has the time flown since my last effort (October 2013) towards a newsletter? What on earth has kept me so busy that I left this Newsletter to one side? Back then Fitri and Khwan were heading for Panel in January 2014 (successfully completed) with Susan and Volha following that summer (successfully completed). Back then, too, I was hoping to […]
Read moreIt’s now the end of Week 3 of the new semester and everyone new who is coming has now come I think. The semester is underway, researcher development plans have been/are being made, studies have started/resumed, supervisions are filling our diaries, Panel preparations are underway, and, best of all, we have the first successful viva of the year – Sophia […]
Read moreIt’s a long time since I wrote a Newsletter for the blog – I had something monthly in mind but then life became too busy and the impetus was lost, ah well ! Anyway, with better intentions to the fore, I’m now thinking about the new academic year and hoping to post more regularly 🙂 What’s new in the world of […]
Read moreThere has been a bit of a hiatus since the last newsletter, an indication of the busy-ness of this new semester, a busy-ness partly ‘encouraged’?since Julian retired, but also the consequence of?increasing PGR (doctoral) activity in the LTE Doctoral Community and beyond. The observant amongst you will have noticed that the numbers of profiles has increased in nearly all categories. […]
Read moreHi All The end of November came and went without my finding time or inclination to finish this 3rd Newsletter. Now, it is the year’s end that approaches and, with it, here in Manchester, despite the mild weather, the wintry dark afternoons still encroach although at least the days are beginning to lengthen (albeit hardly perceptibly as yet). It’s a time to be […]
Read moreAnother month has whizzed past – I shouldn’t be surprised because, for me, Septembers tend to be a blur as we rush around getting the new academic year up and running. So, it’s time to take stock via another newsletter as I sit in a conference venue in Vrsac in Serbia, not far from Romania. I’m here for the first time in Serbia, and for […]
Read moreThis is the first newsletter in what I hope will become a monthly endeavour p?sted towards the end of the month concerned. If you want me to include any items, let me know as and when the item arises, and I will include it in the next Newsletter. Alternatively, you can add you news as a comment to my postings. The […]
