led by Sidonie Ecochard, PhD student at the University of Strathclyde
This session offers a space to reflect on the doctoral journey and explore the PhD as an emotional and embodied process, unique and personal to each student. Through gentle movements, mindfulness practices and reflection exercises, the attendees will be invited to consider their academic journey beyond notions of output, career trajectory and destination. This session will approach the PhD as a process, journey, and stage of life. The attendees will be invited to reflect on how the PhD may fit within the context of one’s broader life, sometimes bringing complications but also enriching experiences and relationships.
The session is accessible and inclusive to all, and no experience of mindfulness is required to participate.
