On 21st-22nd January, students and staff from across the faculty made the annual CES trip to Gregynog Hall in Wales. The weekend offered the chance to get away from campus and city life and 'expand the mind' amidst the Welsh countryside air and the historic and original Hall.

Congratulations to all CES students who Graduated January 2017!

On Wednesday 18th January 2017, we held a Graduation Reception for all CES students who graduated at the morning ceremony. The reception was held after the ceremony in the Chancellors Suite in Rootes Building.

It was a great opportunity to celebrate the hard work that the students and staff have put in over the years. All very well-deserved!

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.
