Studying at University during the Covid-19 Pandemic

The below questionnaire sets out to better understand your experiences of the last year: in particular what it was like to be a student and ‘attend’ university in the midst of a global pandemic. Our primary interest is in how your experience of being a student was impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic, and any ways in which that experience might have influenced your orientation towards university and being a student going forward.

To complete the survey please click on the following link: Studying at University during the Covid-19 Pandemic. All personal information will be kept in strict confidence, and no person who completes the survey will be identifiable at what point the results are written up.

Sociology Summer Internship – Wedding Discourses

By Tanya Portch.

When I saw the opportunity for a summer internship with a member of the Sociology team, I was eager to get involved. Having read Dr Julia Carter’s previous work on young women’s relationships, and in particular weddings, I was excited for the opportunity to assist a lecturer in their academic research. I was ecstatic when I got the call to say I had been accepted. Not only would I be studying an area that held personal interest for me, I would also be getting invaluable experience in terms of research, methodology and sociological analysis.
