ABSTRACT
This group has been a solidary space within academia, where we have been able to laugh, cry and develop our thoughts as well as reflect on our anxieties with support from others facing similar dilemmas and discomforts. Since my first year as a PhD student, this group has been very special to me. We have not only discussed our projects, but have shared ups and downs in writing and in life in general. Coming from different departments and research contexts, being unified by an interest in methodological dilemmas – and hence a feeling of discomfort when performing our studies – we have built a friendship that has made me feel more at home within academia.
