Hello! I'm Lucie, and I'll be taking over from Marianne as the SGSAH blogger for the next 6 months. I'm so excited to take on this post, although Marianne is certainly a tough act to follow. She has done an amazing job, sharing honest, funny and enlightening posts on what it is like to be an arts … Continue reading Introductions

Time for a new SGSAH Blogger…
Hello from me for the final time! This is officially my last post as the SGSAH blogger #SINGLETEAREMOJI. Since I’ve been pestering various PhD students for their reflections on their internships, residencies and funded projects for the last six months, I thought I’d pester myself to share some of my own thoughts on the blogger-in-residence … Continue reading Time for a new SGSAH Blogger…
The perfect metaphor from my PhD
Yo! Apologies it's been all quiet on the Western Front (SGSAH blog) this week; I've been SO BUSY and then got sick, probably as a result of all the busy-ness. The lesson? Don't do anything, ever! Just kidding, of course it's great to stay busy. It's a fantastic distraction from the end of the world, … Continue reading The perfect metaphor from my PhD

Reflections on Teaching
It turns out getting into gear for teaching is...exhausting! Mostly because I was having weird panic dreams about being in class and forgetting which text we were covering, then waking up in a cold sweat. And also the general admin that goes along with a teaching position is a draaaaaag. So many new and different … Continue reading Reflections on Teaching
GUEST BLOG: The Inchcolm Project and Working with Others Pt. 1
This week's guest blog comes from Mona Bozdog, a second-year ARCS PhD candidate. As part of her PhD, which investigates the connections between video games and live performance, she designed a live performance that took as its starting point a video game, its design heuristics, aesthetics and mechanics. Mona took part in the Inchcolm Project, … Continue reading GUEST BLOG: The Inchcolm Project and Working with Others Pt. 1
Talking Animals, Disney and the Sympathtic Imagination
Hello fellow PhDers! I'm literally falling over myself trying to get through my to do list this week (having such issue with settling back to work post-Christmas, ugh!) and as such I've decided to share a blog from my website instead of writing a new one. BUT it's relevant, since Zootropolis (aka Zootopia) just won best animated feature at the … Continue reading Talking Animals, Disney and the Sympathtic Imagination
Guest Post: Getting to Know Your Subject: Human Rights Film Festivals under ARCS Studentship
This week's guest post comes from Alexandra-Maria Colta, a PhD researcher at the Universities of Glasgow and St Andrews, in partnership with the Document Film Festival. Her project is an Applied Research Collaborative Studentship (ARCS) and she has kindly shared some insights into the ARCS experience. I think for many of us starting a PhD we first have to … Continue reading Guest Post: Getting to Know Your Subject: Human Rights Film Festivals under ARCS Studentship
New Term for a New Teacher
Happy new year, folks! I hope you've had a very restful break and you're pumped and ready to step once more onto the PhD carousel. I'm currently pepping myself up with a super strong coffee (rated SIX on the packet!) in order to face my inbox. Before I started this I considered writing a blog … Continue reading New Term for a New Teacher
Seasons Greetings from the SGSAH Blog!
Hopefully you've all signed off on work for the festive season now and you're chilling out on the sofa with a Baileys (yes, I know it's only lunchtime, but 'tis the season) and a good movie. I'm currently watching the classic 2006 Christmas romp, Deck the Halls (which has an average rating of 6% on … Continue reading Seasons Greetings from the SGSAH Blog!
