In December we recruited nine research students on VC Scholarships to enable us to present a stronger profile of doctoral completions in the REF 2012. Seven are being supported by stipendiaries and two are on fee waivers. There are 31 scholarships across the University. The details of our students and their Directors of Studies are as follows -
Thomas Goda - Photis Lysandrou
Cristina Maxim - Stephen Page
Anna Nurzynska - Dean Bartlett
Rosh Otojanov - Vlasios Voudouris
Alla Vetrovcova - John Coshall
Richard Wallace - John Sedgwick
Sanija Weber - Dean Bartlett
Abdul Kader Aljandali - John Coshall
Mohammed Khaleq Newaz - John Coshall
Our students are based in Stapleton House Room 112. We are currently working with the Graduate School and Directors of Studies to settle them into their research programme and the University. Supervisory teams are being created to work with these Directors of Studies.

Over 80 staff presented papers at this year’s annual research conference on a wide range of topics. The afternoon session was launched by Professor Huw Morris and his colleague Aidan Kelly with an analysis of developing trends in UK Business Schools research. A strong case was made for the recently published ABS Journal Guide as an accurate indicator of which journals will carry weight in REF 2013. In the morning doctoral students had a seminar led by Dr Debbie Holley on the use of the Biographical Narrative Interview Method as an approach to qualitative data collection.

The Writing Centre’s Martin Agombar and Celine Llewellyn-Jones ran a great workshop for a lunch hour about online research tools. It was partly a refresher eg on the social bookmarking tool Delicious and partly new territory eg the Beta 2.0 version of Zotero. The latter is an open source citation manager and a move from Endnote to this is on the cards for me.

Last night Professor Photis Lysandrou gave his inaugural lecture putting the global financial crisis in perspective. In a carefully presented argument he made the case for bringing the global commodity system under democratic control and for its restructuring and redirecting so that it benefits the world’s majority rather than it minority. His paper ‘Colonising the Future to Escape the Contraints of the Present’ will be available shortly on the CIBSUS Research Centre website.
