Painting our way through milestones with a splash of colour | The PhD Sketchbook

Download MP3
What does a PhD journey look like when you paint it rather than write it? 

Louise and Tooba explore the first major milestones that shaped their PhD research paths. They think back to what support they had, what might have been different, and how it felt to go through those initial stages. 

You can see the artworks they created during this episode on the UCL IOE student blog, and on the IOE Instagram account.
