PhDing again
I am about to come to the end of my work contract and launch back into my PhD full-time, walhamdulillah. Last year, I was offered the opportunity to take leave from my PhD for a year to work on projects related to my PhD. So I am sort of topsy-turvey, in that I am technically only a year into my PhD, but I am at the analysis and writing up stage (okay apart from needing to brush up my literature review).
The reports I wrote are currently before the stakeholder so it will be nice to get the go-ahead once they’re done and dusted. It’s been a long year. At the end of it, my main supervisor decided to leave to go to another institution. So I have two new supervisors instead of the old one, and I am really happy with the new setup.
So I’m having a look through my tattered old bibliography and getting excited about jumping back into the PhD next week. I have lots of thoughts and ideas floating around my head, and I’m keen to start solving the problems of the world hehehehehe.

Salams,
Sister, would it be possible for you to email me. I am doing a similar PhD, but my focus is on British Muslims. It would be interesting to exchange notes.
