Good afternoon to Dr Saggar, and Dr Saggar only!
Yesterday I passed my PhD viva @ciscstudies @UniKentEnglish with no corrections! Thank you my wonderful examiners @RebeccaTillett1 and @LaraAtkin for your generosity with my work and a stimulating conversation.

Currently in Nigeria working on #phd research. Academic twitter (or academic X ??), what are two things you wish you had known before/while on field research?

UPDATE: One of my insightful followers @azzah1 pointed out that the photograph I shared earlier this week drew inspiration from Francis Davis Millet's 1883 painting "Reading the Story of Oenone." Millet sold the painting to the then brand new @DIADetroit in 1883, making it their inaugural acquisition. Six years later, photographer Frank N. Tomlinson took this photo in Detroit, most likely after seeing Millet's painting in person. It portrays four African-American women replicating the dress and poses in Millet's painting. In the all-black reprisal, however, the central figure makes eye contact with the viewer.

Be kind and patient with yourself. Keep writing. Keep learning. Take constructive feedback seriously. Don't give up. Irresistible #writing doesn't know #colour, #race, #gender or #religion. Once it's great work, it will have no hiding place.
