Henderson has been assigned a new role as the external examiner for the coursework phase of the "PhD in the Education and Social Justice programme at Lancaster University.

The Education Department has excellent doctoral provision that benefits those studying and allows for a supportive environment, they take academic thinking and methodologies, enabling them to be usefully and practically applied within a variety of organisations and contexts.

The new role is closely aligned with research conducted at the DEAR centre, as it allows for flexible ways for students to engage and complete a PhD in topics relevant to the DEAR Centre, meaning this is an exciting opportunity for Emily and the for the research centre.
