Education Studies News and Events

Dr Emily Henderson gave an invited keynote at the University of Hull symposium, 'Digital Scholars in a Mobile World' on 14th December 2016. The keynote panel, which also included Dr Jude Fransman (The Open University), Prof Gail Kinman (University of Bedfordshire) and Dr Fabiano Pinatti (Universität Siegen, Germany), discussed topics including academic mobility, work-life balance, and academic identity. Emily Henderson's paper, 'Conference time: academics aiming (not) to have been there' was based on a chapter she has written for a forthcoming edited collection entitled Feeling Academic in the Neoliberal University (Eds Yvette Taylor and Kinneret Lahad).

The IAS-funded Warwick research and practitioner network, AMIN - Academic Mobilities and Immobilities Network, has now launched its new blog. The blog will showcase AMIN activities and events, as well as guest contributions from Warwick and beyond. The first posts are related to last terms' events, the Round Table on 'Who is (not) moving and why?', and Terri Kim's (UEL) seminar, which was co-hosted by the CES seminar series. AMIN are looking for guest posts, so if you are interested contact AMIN blog editor Emily Henderson (e.henderson@warwick.ac.uk).

We are delighted that two of our projects have been awarded studentships by SF-DDARIN.

SF-DDARIN is a network of researchers and practitioners that supports the dissemination and promotion of ABA-based interventions for people with developmental disabilities. SF-DDARRIN awarded two studentships to CES students to support research towards their dissertation. Supervised by Dr Vaso Totsika (University of Warwick), the students will work in Calthorpe Academy (Birmingham) under the guidance of Dr Corinna Grindle (ABA consultant and Associate Fellow University of Warwick) to develop and evaluate interventions for children with severe learning disabilities.
