Departmental news

Warwick Law School and the Centre for Law, Regulation and Governance of the Global Economy (GLOBE) is pleased to announce the appointment of Vicente Paolo Yu as Honorary Professorial Fellow.

We are pleased to announce that two members of the Department of Economics have been honoured for their teaching with the Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence (WATE).

The Awards celebrate exceptional educators in the Warwick teaching community.

The Faculty Awards highlight the significance of understanding disciplinary contexts in achieving educational excellence. In recognition of the role of collaboration in fostering educational communities, WATE introduced the Collaborative Award in 2021 and the Community & Culture Award in 2022.

Additionally, the Award for Postgraduates who Teach, honours Graduate Teaching Assistants for their valuable contributions to student learning and the academic community. Read more about the award categories.

Dr Arthur Galichere received the Social Sciences Faculty Award and Shantanu Chadha was acclaimed with the Postgrads who teach award.

Find out what Arthur and Shantanu said about being honoured in their respective categories:

Dr Arthur Galichere

“I am still very surprised to receive this award, especially as an early career academic. I feel deeply honoured and sincerely grateful to my students for their nomination and for the warm feedback I have received since joining Warwick. It is truly rewarding to know that my teaching has had a meaningful impact on their learning experience.

I am also thankful to the WATE jury for this recognition, and to my colleagues, whose support and inspiration have meant a great deal. I do not think this would have been possible without them.”

Dr Arthur Galichere is a Assistant Professor (Teaching Focussed) within the Department of Economics. View his staff profile.

 

Shantanu Chadha

“My research lies at the intersection of microeconomics and econometrics, with a focus on modelling the role of social and economic networks in shaping behaviour and policy outcomes. Alongside my focus on research, I also teach small-group seminar classes as a Senior Graduate Teaching Assistant. Teaching has always been deeply meaningful to me and is one of the key reasons behind my decision to pursue a PhD.

Just being nominated for the Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence (WATE) was a surreal feeling and provided immense satisfaction for all the hard-work I try and put in to ensure that my students not only learn but do so in a fun, inclusive and safe environment, and winning the award was just the cherry on top.

This award reaffirms my commitment to creating inclusive, student-centred learning environments where students not only thrive academically but are also empowered to think critically and apply their knowledge to real-world challenges. It is an honour I carry with immense pride and responsibility, and I am deeply grateful to the department, my module lecturers, and—most importantly—my students for recognising my efforts and helping me grow as a tutor.”
