Current PhD Students

During my period as a PhD-student, FIRE has helped me as an academic and my work with the thesis in several ways. For example, being able to meet other doctoral students in similar situations from other universities and exchange experiences, through both received comments on my work and also given comments during seminars on ongoing theses, and through interesting doctoral courses. In both the courses and seminars in FIRE, my thesis drafts have undergone criticism, which has contributed to helping my work with the thesis forward. And in the end, finishing my thesis. All in all, FIRE has contributed to a community and context for me to develop my thesis in particular, but also to develop as an academic in general.
