Fixed line telephony and the changing geographical and social structure of the UK, 1869-1985

我申请的学生项目将主要关注数据管理、转换和分析，因此处理真实的大型数据集的经验，以及必须经过清理、分析和可视化的过程，与我申请的学生项目高度相关。此外，我希望被迫学习使用一些我还不知道的新软件，我相信，在Frontier Economics工作期间不得不学习使用新软件，我会更有信心去学习使用新软件。有了在小团队中工作的经验，以及不得不向技术知识远不如我的《经济学人》同事展示我的发现，我也能够培养自己的人际沟通技能，并用简单易懂的术语解释这些概念。我相信这是直接转移到我的学生生涯的潜在时间，因为我将不得不把我的发现传达给别人，如果我需要他们的帮助，或者相反，他们需要我的帮助。

My proposed studentship project will focus a great deal on data management, conversion and analysis,and so experience of handling real, large datasets and having to go through the process of cleaning, analysing and visualising them is highly relevant to the proposed studentship. Furthermore, I expect to be compelled to learn to use some new software that I don't already know, and I believe that, having had to learn to use new software on-the-job while at Frontier Economics, I will be more confident of approaching learning to use new software. Having had practice with working in small teams and having had to present my findings to Economist colleagues with much less technical expertise than I had, I was also able to develop my skills of interpersonal communication and to explain these concepts in simply understandable terms. I believe that this is something that transfers directly over to my potential time in the studentship, since I will have to communicate my findings to others should I need their help, or should they conversely, need mine.
