#LTHEchat I second that! The more voices and stories we can get on there, the more inclusive and helpful it will be scholarshipspotlight.uk

Scholarship Spotlight

Shining a spolight on scholarship resources

A6- We have the scholarship spotlight - but would add more stories and lesson learned from those who were brave enough to share. Added to this practical tips for getting started and for keep going #LTHEchat

Q6 - If you could design the ideal resource to support your next step in scholarship, what would it include and why? Reply with A6 #LTHEChat and your response @egillaspy.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profearle17.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social

A5 #LTHEchat people who welcome you in no matter what your background or intersectionality is, those who nudge you with gentle challenges, online communities like #LTHEchat are the bomb - I felt genuine loss when X 🤮 died for me, but genuine excitement when bluesky emerged from the ashes!

Q5 - Who or what has helped you feel connected in scholarship? What role do online communities (like #LTHEchat) play in your scholarly connections? Reply with A5 #LTHEChat and your response @egillaspy.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profearlea.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social

A4 #LTHEchat one key spotlight was our Hard Graft project. Working with amazing colleagues to explore how our working class roots have shaped our educator identities was so worthwhile, it didn't feel like research! openjournals.ljmu.ac.uk/prism/articl...

Q4 - If you were to ‘shine a spotlight’ on one moment from your scholarship experience, what would you highlight? Reply with A4 #LTHEChat and your response @egillaspy.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profearle17.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social

A3 Also deadlines! But mostly it’s firefighting and the dreaded admin pile. What helps is putting space in for collaborative meetings and events, and submitting abstracts for conferences when the work isn't finished because it will make me do it! #LTHEchat

Q3 - What gets in the way of engaging with scholarship and how do you (or we) work around it? Reply with A3 #LTHEChat and your response @egillaspy.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profearle17.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social

Loving all these examples of great ways to get started with scholarship #LTHEchat Chat and collaborations are a key theme here A2

A2 For me it’s people that help me get going. A conversation helps me clarify my thinking and gives me energy. Also looming deadlines help a lot!!! #LTHEchat

Q2 - What helps you move from an idea to actually ‘doing’ scholarship? What makes that first step easier? Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response @egillaspy.bsky.social @suebecks.bsky.social @profearle17.bsky.social @rosegann.bsky.social
