"Having been warned that writing a PhD thesis could be a rather lonely experience, I was delighted to find that, by association with CREMS, the opposite was true! The regular CREMS events make for an extremely vibrant and rich research community, and it's amazing how much I was able to pick up from historians, archaeologists and even musicologists which enlivened and enriched my own research. I've made some great friends through CREMS, as well as being inspired by the marvellous range of research topics I've been introduced to. It's been a pleasure to be part of the CREMS community!"
