Hold on to your receipts! In this episode of PhD Pending, we chat to Dr Trisha O'Connor about her experience with travelling abroad to to do archival research for her PhD project. We dive deeper into how she prepared for the trip, what challenges she ran into, and Trisha shares her tips on how to make the most of your time with historical sources, and what to watch out for when dealing with funding money. About Trisha: Trisha is a Digital Humanities researcher from Cork, Ireland. She is currently working as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at CLASP: A Consolidated Library of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, an EU-funded project based at the Oxford Faculty of English Language and Literature. She is also the Communications Officer for the Text Encoding Initiative, a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. She completed her PhD in Digital Humanities at University College Cork (UCC), fully funded by the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences in UCC (2014-16), and by the Irish Research Council (2016-2018). Her PhD research involved encoding the scribal practices, palaeographical and codicological features, and the complex mise-en-page of Cambridge, Corpus Christi College MS 41 (CCCC41) in Text Encoding Initiative Extensible Markup Language (TEI-XML). She is currently creating a digital documentary edition of CCCC41, which cogently combines the text and digital facsimiles of CCCC41 to enable researchers to study the manuscript's marginalia within their textual environment. When she is not encoding Old English and Anglo-Latin manuscripts she enjoys hiking, rockclimbing, bodyboarding and kayaking.

Dr Joseph Moshenska, Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow at University College, discusses his new book, Iconoclasm as Child's Play. Drawing on a range of sixteenth-century artifacts, artworks, and texts, as well as on ancient and modern theories of iconoclasm and of play, Iconoclasm As Child's Play argues that the desire to shape and interpret the playing of children is an important cultural force. Formerly holy objects may have been handed over with an intent to debase them, but play has a tendency to create new meanings and stories that take on a life of their own. Joe Moshenska shows that this form of iconoclasm is not only a fascinating phenomenon in its own right; it has the potential to alter our understandings of the threshold between the religious and the secular, the forms and functions of play, and the nature of historical transformation and continuity.

Prof Donna Greschner from the University of Vicotria, Canada on 'The 30th Anniversary of Canadian Equality Rights: W(h)ither Sex Equality?', speaking on 27 March 2015 at the Oxford Faculty of Law In this seminar Prof Greschner examines key features of the Supreme Court of Canada’s jurisprudence on section 15 – the general equality rights provision of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom – from the aspirational perspective of substantive sex equality. Within each of the three distinct doctrinal periods over the past thirty years, the potential to use Charter rights effectively in promoting substantive equality for women has diminished.
