Welcome
My name is Matthew Lant and I am a part-time PhD student studying Mental Health at Lancaster University.
As part of my PhD I am researching the experiences of mature men studying at University. This will explore the relationships between class, age and mental health practices amongst these men.
This website has been created to recruit potential participants and to provide an accessible and transparent means of communicating the progress of the study with anyone interested in it.
Ethical approval for this research has been granted by the Faculty of Health and Medicine Research Ethics Committee (FHMREC) at Lancaster University.
This site will include…
All relevant documentation related to how to get involved.
Information on the free prize draw.
Updates of the research.
Updates on any publications and conferences at which the research will be presented.
What am I going to be doing and how can you participate?
I am interested in hearing from individual learner men who self-define as working class and who started their undergraduate study when they were aged 21 years or over or when starting their postgraduate study aged 25 years or over in the UK.
I would like to conduct a 60–90-minute individual online / virtual interview.
All personal details will be kept confidential and secure on my Lancaster University OneDrive account via my password protected computer.
You are invited to enter a free prize draw with a chance to win £100 in online shopping vouchers.
