  • Exploring the Relationship Between Sensorimotor Integration and Social Processing in Autism ESRC DTP Joint Studentship
    Exploring the relationship between sensorimotor integration and social processing in autism ESRC DTP Joint Studentship The University of Nottingham and Loughborough 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 The University of Nottingham (where the student will be registered) and the Loughborough University to commence in October 2018. The Project This studentship will investigate links between specific sensorimotor integration deficits and social difficulties in autism with a view to developing sensory training paradigms using virtual reality that will have a meaningful impact on social functioning. Sensory abnormalities are a defining feature of autism and may account for a significant amount of social-communication difficulties. However, the current evidence base cannot inform us about how a particular sensory mechanism affects specific areas of social functioning; information vital to the development of appropriate interventions designed to improve both sensory and social function in autism. One theory to link these domains is atypical sensorimotor temporal binding in autism. Accurate sensorimotor binding underlies the awareness and understanding of our own body and researchers have argued that a failure to detect similarities between another’s movements and our own may impair social processing. Recent research has shown that sensorimotor temporal binding is malleable and therefore there is great potential in exploring sensory training as an intervention.

  • 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.
