About

Welcome to 'Let's Talk Academia', a little space on the internet whereby experiences, advice and stories are shared from people within the academic/postgraduate setting. 


I wanted to create this blog in an attempt to, in some way or another, build a sense of community amongst people who would like to share their experiences and perspectives as academics, PhD students, and postdocs. In doing so, I hope that people can gain insight into the academic environment from varied viewpoints, and advice and encouragement can therefore be shared. 


Often, academia can be perceived as an environment that is isolating and, more often than not, incredibly daunting – especially for early career academics and doctoral researchers. This blog hopes to open up dialogue within which topics and discussions can be raised and a more positive narrative can be brought about where there's a subsequent sense that "we're all in it together", and not so alone! 


Anyone is welcome to write a guest contribution for this blog, the more experiences that are shared the better of course! If you would like to write a little something and share any of your experiences then please feel free to email me at: lynnemily17@gmail.com or contact me via the Facebook page - let's connect! :) 


So, please grab a cuppa and stay for a bit, 


Emily 
Founder of Let's Talk Academia
