Election to the ABP board.
I am deeply honoured by the vote of confidence at last-nights AGM. The ABP members had difficult choices to make and I am proud to be joining the board. Looking forward to working with everyone on the team as we confront challenges, old and new, and continue to work tirelessly towards our goals. https://theabp.org.uk/ #womenonboards
My new book has been released: Time for a celebration
Learning Gains @ Winchester
A beautiful start to the week at The University of Winchester, talking about how to measure improvements in knowledge, skills, work-readiness and personal development made by students during their time in higher education. A dynamic and engaging group of academics and what a stunning city.

I am delighted to have been awarded my Principal Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.
4 Innovative Women Who Were Pioneers Of Industrial-Organizational Psychology
Interesting piece on female pioneers, although I feel they overlooked Isabel Briggs and Katherine Myers: Often they are so effortlessly criticised within academic psychology, that it is almost impossible to understand how they could have developed the world’s most popular psychometric test.

Such an amazing night picking up my NTF award in Edinburgh
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) celebrates and recognises individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession in higher education. So proud to be collecting my award with my amazing husband Craig and Institute Lead, Charles. It would have been impossible without all the love and support of my family, peers and the awesome students at the University of Liverpool.
