Emma Lucy Cole raih gelar PhD setelah alami cedera otak traumatis

Emma Lucy Cole, seorang mahasiswa PhD di University of Bristol, telah lulus dengan gelar doktor di bidang Sastra Inggris meskipun sempat mengalami cedera otak traumatis akibat kecelakaan sepeda motor di Islandia tiga tahun lalu. Kecelakaan tersebut menyebabkan sindrom pasca-gegar otak yang memaksanya untuk cuti dari studinya selama setahun dan menghentikan karier mengajarnya. Dengan dukungan universitas, ia membangun kembali jalur akademisnya dan kini berencana pindah ke Skotlandia untuk melanjutkan kehidupan profesionalnya.

Tiga tahun lalu, Cole mengikuti tur berkendara terorganisir di Islandia, di mana ia terlibat dalam kecelakaan yang memicu sindrom pasca-gegar otak yang parah. Ia mengalami migrain, kelelahan, pusing, mual, dan kehilangan ingatan, yang menghapus ingatannya tentang penelitiannya sendiri. Cole harus menghentikan pekerjaan PhD-nya dan meninggalkan peran mengajarnya di University of Exeter dan University of Bristol, serta kegiatannya di bidang olahraga petualangan dan berbicara di depan umum pada acara-acara seperti festival petualangan dan Royal Geographical Society. “Sebelum cedera, saya adalah dosen di University of Exeter dan mengajar Liberal Arts di Bristol, seorang petualang, pelari lintas alam, dan pembicara di festival petualangan serta Royal Geographical Society. Semua itu hilang setelah kecelakaan,” ujar Cole dalam rilis University of Bristol musim dingin ini. “Saya kelelahan. Namun, ini adalah jenis kelelahan yang berbeda. Kehilangan ingatan saya berarti saya telah melupakan semua penelitian saya dan harus kembali ke tesis yang belum selesai dengan perspektif baru karena saya tidak dapat mengingat apa yang telah saya lakukan dan bagaimana saya sampai pada kesimpulan yang saya buat.” Didukung oleh University of Bristol, Cole tetap bertahan dan berhasil meraih gelar doktornya. Kini, ia sedang membangun kembali hidupnya bersama pasangannya, Iain, dengan rencana untuk pindah ke Skotlandia demi mengejar penulisan akademis, mengajar, bermusik, dan melakukan aktivitas luar ruangan yang ringan.
