What&#8217;s new?<\/p>\n<p>The series of <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Lantern talks<\/span> has now become quite firmly established as a weekly affair, with recent talks by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>PhD alumni <strong>Magdalena De Stefani <\/strong>(who got up early for us in Uruguay and the birdsong on her patio in the early hours of a Montevidean morning was a lovely accompaniment to a fascinating talk), <strong>Duygu Candarli <\/strong>in Dundee, Scotland (whose talk, amongst other things alerted us to the importance of &#8216;waiting&#8217; &#8211; e.g. to be published, to find a position post-doc etc &#8211; a conceptual lens likely to be adopted by Xian Zhao in her revised proposal), and <strong>Fida Sahar<\/strong> in Malaysia (who is now exploring the issues of supervisory cultures as a supervisor herself);<\/li>\n<li>current PhD student <strong>Huran Mirillo<\/strong> (whose talk raised interesting ethical issues in narrative research and decisions about what parts of a participant&#8217;s story are &#8216;relevant&#8217; and for whom); and<\/li>\n<li>research associates <strong>Natasha Tsantila<\/strong> in Athens (who spoke powerfully about her long-term motivation for a PhD and presented her ambitious ongoing doctoral work).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These talks continue to bring the Lantern community together and, to judge by our WhatsApp group, this is an expanding community.<\/p>\n<p>The series continues on 26h Feb with updates on Year 1 &#8216;curiosity&#8217; about their topics by <strong>Xian Zhao<\/strong> and <strong>Jing Wang<\/strong> (for whom the rebooted Lantern talks were originally conceived). We then change focus (5th March) slightly with a research update about the refugee language education project with the local charity Cornerstone (<strong>Gary Motteram<\/strong>, <strong>Susan Dawson<\/strong> and me). On 12th March, the plan is to have a Lantern planning meeting to decide where to go next (eg a summer &#8216;event&#8217;, a book project, etc), and then on 19th we have a session to support <strong>Ivy Taslima<\/strong> as she prepares for her viva the following week. Finally to bring things to a close before the Easter break, <strong>Nahielly Palacios<\/strong>, <strong>Zeynep Onat-Stelma<\/strong> and myself will talk about refection as professional development, work building out of Nahielly&#8217;s PhD and recently submitted as an article (reviews pending).<\/p>\n<p>I hope that, after Easter, the talks will continue culminating in a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>&#8216;summer&#8217; event<\/strong> <\/span>(maybe completely online, or maybe mixing onsite and online modalities). This may provide an opportunity to also connect with doctoral communities elsewhere (e.g. I have started conversations with MMU and Leeds).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, please keep your news updates coming (e.g. new roles, submissions, publications, talks, etc).<\/p>\n<p>R<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone I am trying to keep on schedule with a monthly newsletter.
