This Research Review reflects on my experience this past summer as a Laidlaw Scholar. Independently exploring the digital LGBTQ+ community has given me some great insights moving forward in my career as a researcher and leader.

I have written this blog to share my learnings from my 1st summer with the Laidlaw Scholarship programme. My research on period poverty & the inability to access period products taught me so much about qualitative research & analysis, but even more about leadership, compassion, resilience & mission.

Pre-defined research project in partnership with Durham University. My research will focus on measuring the impact that gamifying learning has on ethnic-minority and socio-economically disadvantaged students in Laidlaw Academies academic progress.
