I am pleased to share that I have graduated from Durham University with a First Class Honours in BA Sociology. I am especially proud to have received a mark of 73 for my final year dissertation. “Who You Know and Where You Study: Finalist and Graduate Perspectives on Symbolic Capital, Networking, and Opportunity at Durham University” The research made use of qualitative interviewing techniques to explore how students and graduates build networks, and how these relationships shape opportunities during and after university. I have absolutely loved my time at Durham and I am incredibly grateful to my family, friends, tutors, and supervisors for their support and guidance throughout the last three years. Graduating marks the end of an unforgettable chapter and the beginning of an exciting new one. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
