Description

In this episode, hosts Ebru, Meghan and Seren explore what it is like to go from working outside of a university to doing a PhD. They reflect on the challenges and triumphs that can come from this, especially for those who are underrepresented in academia.


Our guest for this episode is Malika Ben Kahla, who talks with Ebru about her experience transitioning into academia after working in a number of very different roles for 10 years. Ebru and Malika also discuss Malika's research, exploring (in)equity in academia, particularly the experiences of women academics, and how to improve diversity and inclusion work within this space.
