A conversation with Dr Kirsty Finn, Reader and Education Lead, Manchester Metropolitan University (UK)
Episode 3
Friday, 14 January, 2022
In today's programme, our QUAL-LIGHTHOUSE guest is Dr Kirsty Finn, a sociologist and researcher of Higher Education at Manchester Metropolitan University (United Kingdom). Dr Finn's research explores the relational and affective experiences of peer-shared living, friendships and other intimacies, commuting and combining living at home with university, and the wider relationships between universities, students and local communities. She is the author of the book Personal Life, Young Women and Higher Education A Relational Approach to Student and Graduate Experiences published in 2015. You can find more about Dr Finn's work here. I talked to Kirsty while she was in a Café, the place where she often used to write her PhD. Among the sound of babies, dogs barking and café chit chat, we discussed the process of writing and publishing Kisrty's first qualitative paper post PhD: K. Finn (2013). Young, free and single? Theorising partner relationships during the first year of university. British Journal of Sociology of Education. 34(1), pp.94-111. You can read it here. Kirsty selected the song Wrong by Everything but the Girl. You can listen to the full song here.
