Nicola Shaughnessy, Professor of Performance and Director of Research in the School of Arts, has been shortlisted for the Outstanding Supervisor of the Year in this year’s Times Higher Education (THE) Awards.
Nicola has supported a wide range of doctoral students, drawing upon personal experience in projects that use creative and practical approaches to engage with neurodiversity such as dyslexia and acting, staging psychic distress, autism and gender identity.
The THE Awards exemplify the talent, dedication and innovation of individuals and teams across all aspects of university life. They are open to all UK higher education institutions, and are described as ‘the Oscars of the higher education sector’. Nicola was selected after winning Kent Graduate School’s inaugural Research Supervisor of the Year award and on the strength of the student testimonials supporting her application.
