The first academic year has been a journey of unknown territory as I have grappled with the pride at the opportunity to study at this level, alongside a sense of doubt that I have sometimes felt.
In November 2024, I had a great opportunity to visit Mombasa, Kenya, as part of a decolonial research initiative organised by the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP).
Before you eye-roll at the very obvious pun that has been overused a thousand times, yes, yes I know! Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan.
