“You’re not alone”: Early lessons from the DProf journey
This blog draws on a reflective conversation between two second-year practitioner-scholars, Kate and Katy, who spoke candidly about their first-year experiences on the DProf programme. Their discussion offered valuable insights into the emotional, intellectual and practical shifts that new PGRs often encounter. By blending their voices with supportive theory, this blog aims to reassure, guide and encourage those who are just beginning their own DProf journey.

Getting “Lived Experience” right in Professional Doctorate research 
“Lived experience” is a term that appears frequently in doctoral proposals, especially in practice-based disciplines such as health, education, business, and social care. It sounds intuitive and human-centred, a way to capture voices and reality, and stay connected to practice. Yet, in professional doctorate research, the term 'lived experience' is a slippery one, often used without a clear or supported definition.
