about

My name is Dr Teresa Crew, a Lecturer in Social Policy at Bangor University, North Wales. This blog is currently being updated to reflect my current interests as it was originally set up to discuss my ongoing PhD on graduate destinations. For details of my PhD please click on the link ‘My PhD Beyond Graduation’

Hello world! Introduction to Beyond_Graduation

Hello World!!

Seeing as this is my first post I thought I would give a quick introduction to this blog.  My name is Teresa Crew and I am a 2nd PhD student conducting research on what graduates in north Wales (2008 cohort) have being doing since leaving uni.  This research is intended to provide a more rounded approach to the research on graduates destination which generally concentrates on giving a UK picture of graduate destinations.

I will be using my blog to provide

  • updates to my ongoing PhD research,
  • discussions of topics such as research methods; employment; inequalities i.e gender, age, ethnicity, disability, language; cuts by Tory government and Government support programmes that are not fit for purpose i.e ‘Workfare’
  • other research I have carried out.

I would like this blog to be interactive so if there is anything that you would like to see with regards to my main interests of graduates, employment and inequalities, then please leave a comment.  I am also on Academia.edu (Teresa Crew); Twitter (Beyond_Grad) and  Linked In (Teresa Crew).  If you would like to follow me, I always follow back.

Hope you enjoy the blog

Teresa 🙂
