“Combatting the Slouch through Accountability“
“Writing a PhD is hard. This is especially the case when we have (almost) finished the empirical work and are trying to complete the manuscript. In this talk, I will discuss different strategies I used to stay engaged and accountable in this phase of the PhD. Additionally, I will discuss some of the individual, social and institutional aspects and supports that allowed me to conduct my research. As everyone’s journey is unique, my experiences are not meant as definite instructions for success, but present the base for a conversation where we might learn from each other’s struggles and make-shift solutions to lay the foundations for building a supportive cohort as part of this DC. “
