Late-Night Interview: Felicity McKee: 19th century disability in Britain, linguistic challenges, disabled women, future of disability, 9 to 5 PhD and more…

Sep 08, 2021 E03 01:11:08

Hello students and graduates! This is the first official late-night interview at PhD Lounge Podcast. The first guest is Felicity McKee, a 3rd year PhD student at Swansea University exploring the history and different types of disability in Britain in the 19th century. She also explains the challenges that disabled people had faced during that century, comparing it to today's issues that they still struggle for equal rights and accessibilities, despite the wide-range advancement of medicine and societal perspectives towards them, and the future of disability that may affect a great percentage of the world's population. Aside from that, Felicity gives her thoughts on doing a PhD and to have the mindset to writing a thesis effectively. It is the first late-night interview you do not want to miss out. Make sure to listen, share and leave feedback and a review as there are other PhD students who might be also interested in being interviewed. Thank you all for listening, it has been a pleasure :-) #phdlife #PhD #latenight #interview #phdstyle #disability #19thcentury #Britain #podcast #phdlounge #education #swanseauniversity #history
