My thesis, open access and me: Sarah Foley's image
Description: Sarah Foley is a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge. She submitted her PhD thesis 'Emerging parental sensitivity: the transition to parenthood through the lens of family systems theory' in 2018, and it is available in the Apollo Repository: https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.25075

Sarah was required by her funder, the ESRC, to make her PhD research open access. She discusses her hopes that someone will be able to cite her study in their own doctoral work, and her discovery that the rate of people viewing her thesis increased significantly following a media interview about her research earlier in the year.

This short film was made with the Office of Scholarly Communication to celebrate Open Access Week 2018.
