Life Reconstruction Research at Maynooth

Well they don't call it life reconstruction, but its very similar. Its the Life Histories and Social Change (LHSC) project at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

They have a conference on June 18th but unfortunately I have my final review in DIT that morning. One of the sessions is on “Life History and Occupations and Careers in a Changing Society”.

This catches my interest as I want to get a better grasp on how the degree of match, the importance placed on financial return and the level of job satisfaction for PhD graduates evolves over time, particularly the life-course. What happens when we move from 10 to 20 to 30 years after graduation? This is something I might talk to Hannah about.

we've been talking for a long time about doing a UCD Alumni Study and i think Life Reconstruction Methods (quants and qual) would be the way to go
