Dr Lindsey Sinclair - What Changing Institution Taught Me

Dr Lindsey Sinclair narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. In this blog, Lindsey reflects on what stepping outside a long held academic home taught her about confidence, career identity, and progression. Drawing on her move from Bristol to Southampton after time in Brisbane, she explores the emotional, practical, and professional realities of changing institution, and how the shift helped her see her own expertise more clearly while still recognising that staying put must remain a valid and inclusive career path.
