  • Leicester Student Voice Report
    Leicester Student Voice Executive report February 2020 Foreword This report sets out the findings of a ‘Leicester Student Voice’ event organised jointly by Leicester City Council, De Montfort University and the University of Leicester. The research forms part of a three-year partnership project aimed at increasing the proportion of local graduates who stay in Leicester to begin their career. In 2017, an average of 28% of graduates from Leicester’s two city universities stayed to live and work locally, compared to a national average of 48.4%. Retaining graduate talent is critical for the success of city economies like Leicester as the UK continues to specialise in ever more high-skilled, knowledge intensive activities. The Leicester Graduate Retention partnership will identify and implement actions aimed at influencing students to stay in Leicester and progress on to high-skilled career pathways with locally-based businesses, including support for start-up activity. 2 The Project actions will be determined based on hearing the student and business voice throughout the project, as critical stakeholders for developing meaningful change. The project team wishes to thank the students who willingly offered their time, experiences and ideas at the Leicester Student Voice event. Adele Browne Rob Fryer Sally Hackett Peter Chandler Jo Ives Adele Browne De Montfort University ‘One thing in Leicester is inclusion: No matter who you are - race, gender, sexuality - you can find your place here; you are accepted 98% of the time… Leicester I think has one of the most vibrant cultures I’ve been to and it’s a place where you can be yourself.’ Event participant 1.

  • Nyhagen, Loughborough
    Muslim Women in Higher Education Institutions in Britain ESRC DTP Joint Studentship Loughborough University and Warwick University The Midlands Graduate School is an accredited Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). One of 14 such partnerships in the UK, the Midlands Graduate School is a collaboration between the University of Warwick, Aston University, University of Birmingham, University of Leicester, Loughborough University and the University of Nottingham. We are now inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Joint Studentship between Loughborough University (where the student will be registered) and our partner Warwick University to commence in October 2021. The Project The PhD research project investigates opportunities and barriers to academic citizenship among Muslim women doctoral students, researchers and academics in British higher education institutions (HEIs). Citizenship is viewed in a broad sense and covers issues of recognition, participation and belonging. The project brings intersectional and spatial dimensions of HEIs to the fore in its analysis of Muslim women’s academic citizenship. The overall goal is to examine Muslim women’s experiences of barriers and opportunities, focusing on the career stages of PGRs, researchers and academics, with a view to producing policy-relevant knowledge that can support and enhance Muslim women’s participation, belonging and success in higher education institutions. Key research questions ask which institutional-level barriers and opportunities to academic research are experienced by Muslim women in HEIs; which individual-level and broader societal factors that may progress or hinder Muslim women’s academic careers in HEIs, and what best-practice policies and strategies can support Muslim women in HEIs.
