A long time ago, in a land far, far away…

Katherine Firth,

I kept a research journal as a blog while I was writing my doctoral thesis. I was teaching Masters students who were writing a thesis themselves at the time, and I was therefore interested in being accountable, authentic, to model learning in public.

In case anyone wants to go back to those distant shores and see what it was really like for me,  feel free: http://reasearchdiary.blogspot.com.au

I wouldn’t go there if I were you though, I kind of terrify myself.

I teach research and writing skills at the University of Melbourne. I was part of the team that founded, and still run, #thesisbootcamp with the Graduate Students Association at the University of Melbourne. My book (with Inger Mewburn and Shaun Lehmann) How to Fix your Academic Writing Trouble came out in December 2018. Look out for my next books, Level Up and Your PhD Survival Guide coming out in 2020.
