Gender transition, autobiographical memory and the self - research

I am in the process of completing my MSc in Psychology this year, and recruiting participants for my final dissertation project has been quite a challenge. My goal is to train and become a queer, anti-racist, trauma-informed psychologist, and this is the first crucial step. In this particular study I aim to explore how gender transition impacts memories and constructions of the self – an area that so far has been underexplored. I’m hoping it will lead to more extensive research down the line – my next step will be to apply for a PhD.

I would be really grateful if you could fill out the survey, if you are from the right demographic, and/or share with anyone who might be interested in participating. I need 200+ responses, so every single one helps! I’m also happy to answer any questions about my research. Thank you all in advance!

Currently reading This Golden Fleece: A Journey Through Britain’s Knitted History by Esther Rutter and there’s a whole chapter on ganseys that I’d wished I’d known about when I was writing my MSc Dissertation on tbe Johnston Collection and how to make the history of the area and the stories more digitally accessible up in Wick

Hello Aye!! I'm finishing my MSc dissertation atm about the discourses of GRA reform and Scottish independence, specifically overlap between the autonomy of trans people to self ID and the autonomy of the Scottish parliament to legislate on it (of course I know that's still TBD with the section 35 case). Anyway, I wanted to send a message to thank you (and your community!!) for all you've done to inform people about the bill and the process and esp back in December about specific amendments, I can't begin to describe how helpful it was to see everything laid out and explained like that. So yeah, I could've put a note in my acknowledgements (I still could, if you'd like me to!!) but you would never actually see that and I wanted to thank you personally because your efforts were a huge help to me 🏳️‍⚧️😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Glad I was able to help out in my own wee way. Best of luck with your dissertation!💙

I PASSED MY DISSERTATION I OFFICIALLY HAVE MY MSC IN CLINICAL PSYCH 😭😭😭

[catsanditalkshit]

I moved out of the US a few months ago.

Not specifically because of the current political climate (I'm incredibly privileged to be a cis-white-straight-presenting woman so I can hide in plain sight for the most part as long as no one asks for ID), but it certainly helped make the move feel easier. I moved for a ton of reasons that were largely personal, but it all boiled down to: a bitch can't heal if she's always on fire. So now I'm watching my friends and family on fire from very far away, and I have a touch of survivor's guilt despite the fact that they're all safe (currently). This isn't a post about that though, just felt like I needed to acknowledge that I'm starting regular blogging probably because I'm feeling guilty, lonely, out of place or some combination of those. Totally great reason to talk shit about things, right?

I'm nearly a third of the way through my MSc program in the UK and one thing is abundantly clear - group projects suck more than a nun's bunghole. I'd even argue that they suck even more with the advent of widely accessible AI. Now I won't get into the objective downsides and problems with AI or my own personal moral qualms with the way the models are built and trained, but I will say that people use it as a damn crutch and it's annoying.

AI can be such an interesting tool if used correctly and, with how ubiquitous it's becoming, it's important to understand what role it plays in the future of any industry. You wanna know what it's not though? A replacement for doing actual fucking work. Like, genuinely, this group project is not particularly difficult in terms of the requirements themselves, but the group work aspect has made it damn near impossible. "Oh well, Tabi, being able to work in a group means that..." Oh shut your trap, imaginary well-meaning internet stranger. It's gotten to the point where one of these people is about as useful as tits on a mouse and my grade (& consequently my visa) is tied to that person.

So yeah I'm going to talk shit. A lot.

Now, my personal use of AI is limited to asking it to tell me how in the hell to use a machine at the gym or what a tool I've been using to pry open a busted utility door is actually for, so I'm no master prompt-writer. I know there are people who can wordsmith their way into some pretty awesome shortcuts and genuinely useful things, but, at the very least, I think I have a lot of learning to do before I can even consider using AI to help me out (and that doesn't even account for my moral qualms).

I'd like to point out that Mr. TitMouse is definitely not one of those legendary AI gurus. He brings AI-generated work to group meetings that's so generic I'm surprised Walmart hasn't found a way to sue him. It's like he gave the poor AI a two-word prompt and then expected a persuasive dissertation. I can just picture our poor, budding robot overlord asking for a hammer to use, getting a Fisher Price tool set instead, but still doing their best to build what they were asked for.

All that to say: if you're going to do something bad, at least be the best at it. I've spent a few too many drives home ranting about how if he didn't want to work, he could use AI in much smarter ways, but nope this guy would rather do absolutely nothing and then try to mansplain the process to anyone who will listen. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered to do actual work last week, but, upon actually looking at the "work" today, he's basically disregarding everything the group had agreed upon and using his own, barely-formed-enough-to-call-generic drafts to create the least functional thing I've ever seen. I know the other group members are trying but this guy is really dragging everyone down. I'm a glutton for punishment though, so I'm going to let him do his thing, make my own in the background and test both out in the wild to see which people prefer. Is it technically more work? yes. Will it technically save me having to deal with this actual man-child as much? also yes. Will I get a small amount of joy from showing the tutors how absolutely BS everything he's done is? big yes. Maybe I'll even hide a little drawing of tits on a mouse in the final product! Who doesn't love a little easter egg 🤭

a year ago I was just about to start my msc dissertation but I swear handing that in feels like so much longer ago than last august because so much has happened since

[luxe-pauvre]

I'm applying for PhD positions this year at KCL, UCL, and Imperial. For some of them the department specific requirements are a Masters degree with Merit or Distinction (I meet this requirement) and at least 65% for your dissertation (I miss the mark here by quite a bit - I got 58% for my postgraduate dissertation, but I did get 76% for my undergraduate dissertation).

I think you went to KCL and UCL so wondered if you knew if there's any flexibility at these universities or if the entry requirements are rigid?

The answer, in short, is entry requirements are rigid.

It is programme dependent, but most programme's have a numbers issue. The programme I'm on had 822 applications for 6 places, and my old MSc personal tutor was the admissions tutor for the Wellcome funded Neuroscience program (before it was discontinued) that had an even worse application to place ratio. On both programmes the first way they cut down numbers, before they had even looked at applications, was entry requirements. They cut to the base entry requirements, and then continued on from there, cutting people who exceeded the entry requirements, until they got to a reasonable number to consider for interview.

No one, myself included, thinks this is a particularly good system. I once had a long conversation with said old personal tutor about how there were definitely excellent researchers with 2:1s, or little research experience due to factors outside of their control, that were not even being considered and how awful and unfair this is. But most programmes are massively oversubscribed and they have to work out a way that from the outside (i.e. from a HR perspective) is "fair", and the "there were more qualified applicants" answer is deemed fair.

There is a small chance, if there were extenuating circumstances surrounding your master's dissertation mark, that they may take that into account. The best person to check with would be the program administrator. A way to overcome the mark might be to take a research assistant position on a new project that has the possibility of gaining PhD funding in future, by which point you, the person who has been doing the research, become the obvious candidate.

Hi, I am a Forensic Psychology MSc student currently conducting my dissertation on the views that members of the LGBTQIA+ community have regarding the barriers towards reporting crime. This research project has been designed with, and commissioned on a gratis basis by the Gloucestershire Constabulary Victim Hub.

I would be very grateful if those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community would be willing to complete this study in their spare time. It is entirely confidential and more information will be given if you click the link. This dissertation aims to improve the UK reporting system to better fit the needs of minority groups.
