Why research? – Reflections at the end of a journey

Curious about research for democracy? Or about PhD life in general? A few weeks before her thesis defense, Helena looks back at her journey towards a finished thesis and deals with collected listeners’ questions on PhD life. Against a backdrop of her earlier meetings with guests from a wide range of research fields, she reflects on the many ways to approach democracy research.

Together with guest host Dr. Carl-Johan Sommar, they also discuss experiences from PhD life and share tips on writing, coping, and on how to pull through in a long-lasting project. Honeytraps and imposter syndrome, do’s, don’ts and the beauty of new insights – tune in if you want to know more about PhD life!
