Welcome to CVC Emma Hayes

Today Emma Hayes began working with the Children's Voices Centre as the administrator for the Children's Voices Conference (CVC2026). It was as though she had been working with us for a long time. Welcome Emma! We are so thrilled to have you working with us.

Professorial Representative on Faculty Board

Recently I have stepped down from being the Professorial Representative on Faculty Board for the Faculty of Arts and Education. I received this email today from Professor John McDonald, Executive Dean, Faculty of Arts and Education 

Thanks for letting me know about your decision to step down from your position on the Faculty Board due to other commitments. I have really appreciated your considered and informed contributions at the meetings, and especially your advocacy for our research. You have also championed our HDR students and early – and mid-career researchers. 

Thanks and best wishes, John

SOTE Research Committee

For the next 6 months I am the chair of the School of Teacher Education (SOTE) Research Committee while Dr Helen Logan is on SSP (sabbatical). We had our first meeting of the year this afternoon, and it was a pleasure to welcome new members. There was a lot of new information to discuss including COVID-19 (see below).
