   Episode 31: Damn, we’re growing our sample size?!

   Turns out ethics applications, supervision meetings, and imposter syndrome are not the only things you can carry during a PhD. Who knew?! In this episode, the damned divas unpack a major life change. We discuss the realities of navigating academia while your body is doing something completely different, and whether there is ever actually a “right time” for anything.

   Episode 29: Damn, I don't believe my own findings?!

   It's been a minute, but we're back! This week, the Damned Divas talk about the ups and downs of analysing data and writing thesis chapters. From analysis during fieldwork, to mish-mash methods - we laugh, we vent and we sigh. What's your analysis and writing process? Let us know in the comments!
