Alice Langley, who is exploring the use of creative writing as a tool for individuals who have experienced miscarriage, found LiU to be the perfect environment for her project. She highlights the significance of being in a specialised and supportive setting:
– Being somewhere that specialised in medical humanities felt really important in the creation of my project. Alice appreciated her mentor, Sofia Morberg Jämterud, for shaping her project and the valuable interactions with researchers in similar fields. She also found inspiration in hearing about other researchers' projects.
– The culture here is great because people take lunch breaks and fikas and are happy to speak to you. I attended seminars and spoke to people at different levels who are grappling with similar questions, says Jean-Pierre. He acknowledges the positive influence of LiU's environment and aims to integrate those lessons into his research back in Glasgow.
– Linköping University is a beautiful place and feels very supportive. It's a place that's very generative of ideas and encouraging, Alice says. Jean-Pierre echoes this sentiment, expressing his gratitude for the friendly and receptive nature of the people he encountered during his visit.
