ESRC and GTRA scholarships

See below for a message from Olwen about the latest recipients of these awards. The alert amongst yuo will note Miri’s name, but also I am also pleased to see Dimi (co-supervised by Zeynep, a member of the LTE team in some ways) and also Su (who has now started attending Narrative Natters, the fortnightly onsite discussion and support group for narrative researchers  (which involves quite a few of our LTE Doctoral Community):

Olwen writes: “I am delighted to announce that the School of Education has been very successful again this year in the award of scholarships. Three applicants have been awarded ESRC scholarships:
