Dr Alan Dolan will be appearing on BBC Radio 4’s “Thinking Allowed” programme, hosted by Laurie Taylor, at 4pm on Wednesday 5 July.

On World Social Work Day (Tuesday 21 March) colleagues from our Warwick Social Work team, welcomed local social and community work practitioners, students and educators, to celebrate their contribution to global social work.

Principal Research Fellow, Dr Ravi Thiara (SWELL) took part in a Gender Based Violence Day, held on 13 March at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University.

The event was held to celebrate International Women's Week and focused upon the networks of support that exist in the City of Coventry and how they can work to empower and enable those affected.

Congratulations to all four of our PhD students (Eleanor, Masauso, Fatima and Mi) who made submissions to the annual Warwick PhD poster competition that took place last week. Eleanor Lutman-White won the Faculty of Social Sciences prize and Fatima de Almeida Reszcynski was chosen as a runner-up.

The competition is part of the annual Postgraduate Research Showcase that brings together and recognises the excellence of Warwick’s postgraduate research.
