I can’t believe it has already been a month since I took up the post of SGSAH blogger! I’ve been looking forward to compiling this monthly round-up of blogs posts, calls for papers, articles and anything else which might be useful for PhD students. On the SGSAH blog we have had some cracking guest posts … Continue reading Monthly Round-up: August 2017
