University Research Prizes for Theresa Gannon and Giovanni Travaglino

The results of the University Research Prizes competition have just been announced, with two prizes going to the School of Psychology.

Professor Theresa Gannon and her team consisting of Dr Caoilte Ó Ciardha (Lecturer in Forensic Psychology), Dr Emma Alleyne (Lecturer in Forensic Psychology), Dr Lona Lockerbie (Honorary Lecturer), Nichola Tyler (Research Associate), Helen Butler (PhD Candidate), Magali Barnoux (PhD Candidate), and Katarina Mozova (PhD Candidate) were awarded the Faculty of Social Sciences Prize for Research for their work in producing a standardised treatment programme for firesetters.

The University Prize for Postgraduate Research was awarded to Dr Giovanni Travaglino, whose PhD was concerned with collective opposition to criminal organisations in Southern Italy and who developed an international network on collective action and protest, leading to two conferences being held at Kent.

The winners will receive their awards at a ceremony at the end of the month.
