2020-2021 Scholar, University of York (Alum)

About Cath Brislane

I am an alumni of the University of York where I received a BA (Hons) degree in English Literature and Linguistics. I was the Arts and Humanities Subject Lead on the Laidlaw Scholar's Network and the 2020-22 Arts and Humanities Undergraduate rep at the University of York. 

After graduating from York I went to the University of Oxford to read for an MPhil in Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics. After 2 years of study at Oxford I work full time in a school and also work on the HEnabled podcast, which aims to showcase the experiences of people with disabilities and long-term health conditions within the British Higher Education system. If you study or have studied at a British University and have a disability or long term-health condition, then I would love to have you on as a guest! Email henabled@gmail.com to get in touch.

This is such a great spotlight guys! I always love talking to Roberta about research, uni, and life at coffee hours. It is definitely one of the highlights of my week :)

This is really well said Roberta! I had to write an abstract recently which had to be accessible to an international audience and actually found it to be one of my trickiest tasks to date. Accessibility to research is a skill which is incredibly hard to master! 

I think others would find this really useful so please feel free to link this article in the Discord for maximum visibility :)

This is so great Emily, I'm loving the format! 

As someone who had to do this kind of study last year I'll let you know now that running any audio through Qualtrics in the Safari browser can cause a world of pain. Before releasing your survey be sure to add something to change their browser if they're on Safari! It will save you a world of hurt later on :)

This is a very ambitious and noble research proposal Nathan! It will be very interesting to look into how these issues are treated across the world. If you need any help with finding UK statistics I may be able to help, so please let me know if that would be of use. 

Best of luck, I'm excited to see where this research goes! :)

This is great Mia! You are more than free to share this blog on the Discord so that has better visibility to arts and humanities scholars. Best of luck with the rest of our research period!

This is a really ambitious proposal Kristen! I hope that your project is successful because there is so much to learn from this- workplace dynamics are built on communication. 

I'm excited to see where this project goes, best of luck! :)

I'm not sure if you are still looking for people Charlie, but if you are definitely try emailing some local TV and radio stations directly and put out a call on LinkedIn! The worst that people can say is no. If you need a videographer, you could always try collaborating with film students and use a small amount of your research stipend to pay them. You don't always need a professional to film a video, it is likely that there are already a load of amazing student videographers on your doorstep :)

Best of luck with your project, I'm excited to see how it goes!
