Doing a qualitative PhD asks a lot of you.
Put your time and effort into the things that will actually move your PhD forward.
What do you need help with now?
“I need to understand why my PhD feels like this.”
Your research keeps changing. Things you thought you'd figured out suddenly feel complicated again. You're rewriting, going backwards and wondering whether any of this is normal.
The Hidden Curriculum explains the unwritten realities of qualitative PhD research — including the things nobody thinks to tell you until you're knee-deep in them.
“I know what I'm struggling with. I just can't seem to sort it out.”
Maybe you've lost the thread of your research. Your literature review is going in circles. You're unsure whether your analysis is good enough. Or you know what you found but can't work out what to say about it.
You probably don't need more information. You need help making sense of what you already know and working out what to do next. The PhD Survival Guides help to do exactly that.
“I keep losing time and struggling to make consistent progress.”
You lose weeks to overthinking, competing priorities and trying to work out what to tackle next. Working on your PhD can start to feel very lonely. Doing a PhD doesn't mean you have to figure everything out by yourself.
Momentum gives you a community of qualitative researchers to work alongside, somewhere to ask questions, and regular structure and support to help you keep moving.
