Alexandra Chassanoff has great thoughts on digital archiving - It's a niche topic, but think about it: how do we keep records and references to this Leviathan of digital data? Do we just rely on the volunteer Internet Archive to do it? No way! They're important, but we need much much more than that. Just think about how much paper historical records are still vital to understanding the world around us. We need the same thing for digital archives! So if you understand this, check out Alex's work!

An interesting discussion from the incomparable Professor Brabazon about long PhD candidatures. Overwhelmingly, the students that have long and complicated candidatures, or just don’t finish, are non-males, students with disability, and Indigenous students. Ability is a non-factor: it seems to be a deeply rooted problem within the systems of academia itself, and wider sociocultural expectations (and challenges) of people in certain demographics which can often get in the way of a smooth research process. #PhD #Academia #Candidature #research
