How to get a PhD in YouTube | PhD stories #3

In this episode I spent a week with Zoe Glatt, a researcher at LSE in London who is writing her PhD thesis on YouTube. Yes, you can get a PhD in YouTube! To learn how she has landed what might be the best PhD project (at least to me) I spent a week following her doing fieldwork at Vidcon London, interviewing YouTubers, and talk through how she processes her data.

  1. Thanks Simon for making this video about my research! I hope people find it interesting hearing about a different discipline 😊

  2. IMO the best series currently on youtube, great job on the editing. I think you have found the thin line between detailed to understandble and stick to it throughout the video.

    Great job <3

  3. This is such a fantastic series Simon! Particular kudos for covering such a wide range of fields, disciplines and methods – I never thought I'd see the day this channel covered ethnographic research, but you continue to be an innovative and genuine content creator. Amazing stuff!

  4. Hey simon, Great video!! Could you try to keep the videos a bit shorter maybe 15 minutes at the longest. It’s just that I found that I was fast forwarding through some parts. But great series! Excited to see what’s to come 🙂

  5. Hey Simon! I’ve been watching your vids since your Oxford vlogs. Back then I was in school but a few years have past since and I’m starting a PhD in September at Imperial. I’ll be working on climate satellites and numerical uncertainties in Earth Observation with Dr. Helen Brindley as a member of the Grantham Institute. The project was a result of an internship at NPL so NPL is the industry partner. I’m moving from Queen Mary, where I’ve done a lot of science outreach with Dr. Martin Archer (he’s also moving to Imperial in September as one of the Stephen Hawking Fellows) and been an IOP campus ambassador. If you’re ever in London let me know if I can help you with anything. You’re a big inspiration and I think you have a larger impact than you can see from video analytics.

  6. Very interesting to see how PhD projects in so different fields are being carried out… Keep doing these videos! Maybe one about Linguistics? That would be awesome!

  7. Thanks so much for a great vid! It would be really interesting to do a “where are they now” kinda thing to see not only the wide variety of PhDs but also how different they are during the span of the project. Like, it’s be great to catch up with Zoe when her project is further down the line and more specialised 🙂
