I finally did it: I graduated with my #postgrad degree: M.S. in #Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from #WGU. While #learning lasts a lifetime, I'm beyond relieved to have my formal #education complete.

I can #PersonallyAttest that #MyIvyLeagueDegree did #Secure a #SixFigureSalary...

#IT's #OK; #IT was only #One of #ManyDegrees... And, #IT was a #PostGrad... I've got a #FewOfThem...

And, I #TurnedOutNormal, #Right...?

But, I am a #TerribleTypist...

I look forward to the future when I can have a #weekend without #homework.

I feel I have been priced out of doing a #masters and it is the government's fault. Universities should be able to properly employ and pay #postgrad researchers so that candidates like me coming back to academia should be adequately supported in making the transition. It essentially means only the rich and people with a partner/work to financially support them can return and cuts most marginalised folks out.

#Postgrad feeling that I didn't know existed; "oh gods I want to research but ah I don't know where to even start!"

#histodons Any advice? Do I go back to college papers and improve or just move on entirely?

PhDs and PhD and other research students – I'm curious about how widely grad student experience and academic culture norms range.

I can't figure out how to make the poll options checkboxes rather than radio buttons, so please choose the lowest on the list that applies. I've tried to rank them in an order that'll make sense for that.

Please boost.

Supervisor (Brit.) = Advisor (US).

"slept" in the literal sense.

Oh noes.. I just thought of another possible post-grad project..

The increased popularity of D&D as a cultural criminological phenomenon because it lets us take action against injustice in a world where we feel constantly disempowered.

People have already written a lot about this with regards to superheroes and comics etc, especially in relation to the whole War on Terror post 9-11 thing.

Hagley & Harrison 2014
Philips & Strobl 2013
Philips & Strobl 2006
Jewett & Lawrence 2003
Lovell 2002

DnD shares a lot with superhero stories and with comic books:
- Blurring of the line between crime and entertainment
- Contribution to understandings of justice
- Influence over public perceptions of social problems

They share familiar themes:
- Dominant notions of justice
- Consensus view of crime and deviance
- Nostalgia and patriotism
- Retribution
- Extra-legal responses to crime
- Failures of the criminal justice system
- Imagined communities

They reinforce the status quo:
- Attempt to ‘restore social order’
- extra-legal vigilantism
- retributive justice (Phillips & Strobl, 2006)
- Criminals/villains are dangerous ‘agents of change’, while heroes are protectors of the status quo.

‘These villains frequently echo the concerns and conflicts of the culture from which they emerge’ (Fingeroth, 2004)

Facebook reminded me 13 years ago today I passed my #PhD #viva at #DundeeUniversity. Happy PhD birthday to me! I haven't been able to work in a paid capacity in #academia since due to my #progressive MS-like #illness. But I'm still active as an #academic. Here's a blog post about my activities since then. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/27/ten-years-since-phd-viva/ #Dundee #Research #University #Postgrad

Postgraduate workers in Ireland are doing invaluable research for an unlivable wage. If you're a #postgrad in #Ireland you should join the Postgraduate Workers Organization to try to change that: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfMOdCOZP65Q4dBi86aZOdUhW1KfqroV2NAUbco379OHGRqw/viewform

If you're otherwise affiliated with an Irish 3rd level institution you can click the link in the form to register as a friend of the #PWO.

AND if you're in any position of power at a university you should put all your weight behind fully supporting the university's labourers.

I’ve had a great morning scrolling through #Edinburgh #EdinburghUniversity #MedicalScience #MatureStudent etc to find new followers, if I’ve followed you today, Hi!

I’m a 40 something mum of one, married to a Texan, based in #CentralScotland. I attend #EdinburghUniversity im in year 3 of #MedicalScience with the dream of doing #PostGrad #Medicine or #ScotGem

I also run a #MassageClinic and a #SleepCoach living with #narcolepsy

I love to read, watch #TrueCrime TV and listen to #Podcasts

Are you running postgraduate training in environmental science?

Drop me a DM if you'd be interested in having some guest lectures or workshops on #EvidenceSynthesis methods, like #SystematicReviews, #ScopingReviews and #LiteratureReviews.

Awesome blog from one of our MSc EEC students who mainly used our field trip to Lundy for birding! #postgrad #birds

I am currently on #academic cloud nine, as the saying goes.

Just having simple recognition for your effort alongside valuable #feedback is an effective #morale boost and pushes further #enjoyment in the #research I applied to take on for the next 3.5 years.

Extremely pleased PhD #student for sure.

Anyone else having a positive #experience with their #PhD?

Anyone have any book recommendations to prepare for starting an MSc in #criminology and #SocialPolicy? I need to get my brain working again #masters #postgrad #student
