In a collaborative project called Refugee Tales, asylum seekers and refugees share their experiences with authors such as Ali Smith, Abdulrazak Gurnah and Monica Ali. The result is a set of compelling stories and a literary event that’s like no other – taking place on a long trek through the English countryside. Working towards equality Is a woman’s leadership potential more likely to be overlooked than a man’s? Do flexible hours help or hinder mothers who are working part-time? Do men and women get different advice when considering a senior role? Our research is bringing clarity to many questions of gender equality. www.kent.ac.uk 5 Improving global nutrition Understanding the ‘unbelievers’ With its large population of vegetarians, India is a country What do agnostics and atheists believe?

Understanding autism Think of an imaginary world – brought to life using drama, puppetry and multi-sensory environments. For autistic children and practitioners, creating and playing in these imaginary worlds can enhance both communication and empathy. Our researchers were pioneers in this field and their latest work explores the experiences of girls with a diagnosis of autism. 6 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2021 OUR CHANGING WORLD Kent’s Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) was awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize in 2019 for its pioneering work to conserve biodiversity. Established in 1989, DICE research has had a major impact nationally and internationally. This includes innovative work to tackle the illegal trade in ivory and other wildlife products, as well as projects with local partners in Asia and South America to reduce deforestation and protect orangutans, sun bears and jaguars. DICE has trained conservation scientists and biodiversity managers from 103 nations who are making a difference around the world. In 2020, two of our alumni, Dr Patricia Medici and Rachel Ikemeh, won Whitley Awards: Patricia for her research into tapirs as conservation flagships in Brazil and Rachel for advancing participatory conservation action for rare chimpanzees in Nigeria. One of our current students, Trang Nguyen, was named as one of the BBC’s top 100 women of 2019 for her work setting up WildAct Vietnam, a charity dedicated to creating a fairer and safer working environment for women in wildlife conservation in her home country. DICE’s work has inspired the current generation of conservationists, who will in turn inspire the next, as we work to bring about positive change. “DICE has been at the forefront of conservation training and research for 30 years, bringing together the natural and social sciences and making a real difference on the ground.” Professor Bob Smith, Director of DICE www.kent.ac.uk 7 8 University of Kent / Graduate Prospectus 2021 www.kent.ac.uk 9 JOIN OUR COMMUNITY Postgraduate life at Kent Help when you need it Our graduate community includes people Postgraduate study is stimulating and returning to study after a break or studying challenging.

    Oxford Brookes University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 1. Assessment of performance Unless stated otherwise, the analyses in this report draw on data from UK-domiciled, undergraduate students studying full-time or sandwich courses at Oxford Brookes University and at our Associate College Partnerships. Where possible we have referenced national higher education data sources supplemented with internal data. Unless otherwise stated the data sources by life cycle stage are as follows: ● Applicant data are from UCAS end of cycle reports, from UCAS Undergraduate reports by sex, area background, and ethnic group, or from purchased UCAS EXACT data. ● Entrant, Continuation, Attainment and Progression data are from the OfS Access and Participation data resources. ● National data, including that from HESA, UCAS and TEF metrics, were used for sector benchmarks. ● Regional population data is derived from the Local Authority. Additional analysis has been undertaken on the relative performance of Oxford Brookes students registered through the University’s Associate College Partnerships. This analysis has shown some gaps in performance against the data for the average of ACPs, which has led to the initiation of discussions with college partners to pinpoint where gaps are significant and to work with partners to better understand the data and to develop action plans to address differences in access, success and progression.

  • The New and the Old: the University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar
    1 For: Jill Pellew and Miles Taylor (eds.), The Utopian Universities: A Global History of the New Campuses of the 1960s “The New and the Old: The University of Kent at Canterbury” Krishan Kumar Foundations and New Formations1 It all began with a name. A new university was to be founded in the county of Kent.2 Where to put it? In the end, the overwhelming preference was for the ancient cathedral city of Canterbury. But that choice of site was by no means uncontested. There was no lack of alternatives. Ashford, Dover, and Folkestone all put in bids. The Isle of Thanet in East Kent was for some time a strong contender, and its large seaside town of Margate, with its many holiday homes, undoubtedly seemed a better prospect than Canterbury for the provision of student accommodation, in the early years at least. Ramsgate too, with a large disused airport, was another strongly- urged site in Thanet. But as far back as 1947, Canterbury had been proposed as the site of a new university in the county. That proposal got nowhere, but the idea that Canterbury – rather than say Maidstone, the county capital, or anywhere else in Kent – should be the place where and when a new university was founded had caught the imagination of many in the county. Thanet might, from a practical point of view, have been the better site. But it lacked the cultural significance and the wealth of historical associations of the city of Canterbury. Moreover the University of Thanet, or the University of Margate or Ramsgate, did not have quite the same ring to it as the University of Kent or the University of Canterbury.3 That at least was the strong opinion of the two bodies that brought the University into being, the Steering Committee of Kent County Council and the group of the great and the good in the county that came together as “Sponsors of the University of Kent”- most prominent among them being its chairman, Lord Cornwallis, Lord Lieutenant of Kent and former chairman of Kent County Council.4 2 Canterbury having been chosen as the site, what to call the new foundation? That proved trickier.
