We have had some extremely pleasing research grant news over the last two months. Aidan McGarry was awarded £249,850 by the AHRC for his grant application entitled “The Aesthetics of Protest: Visual Culture and Communication in Turkey” and Flis Henwood has had success as Co-I on a bid with colleagues at Sheffield (lead) and Sussex universities on a project entitled: ‘Knowledge, care and the practices of self-monitoring’. It’s funded by Leverhulme to the value of £217,770. Lizzie Ward and colleagues made a major contribution to the B & H Public Health annual report that has been recently published and features our older people and wellbeing work with their project on Later Life. Carl Walker was awarded a BPS Undergraduate Research Assistantship student summer bursary for one of our Psychology students, Jenny Terry. In addition, Carl Walker and Mary Darking were awarded a UoB Excellence in Community Engagement award which will be presented to them at our summer graduation ceremony. Many congratulations to everyone on these really pleasing achievements.
