Politics Talk with Professor Jon Davis
Professor Jon Davis of the Strand Group at King’s College London gave a fascinating talk to a large audience of students and staff. Professor Davis has worked on major projects with 10 Downing Street and HM Treasury as well as being a lecturer on undergraduate and MA courses where his specialist subject is “The Blair Government”. He gave his thoughts on the forthcoming election here in the UK which is due to take place sometime in the next few months including the likely outcome and policies which might be implemented by a new government. The talk was extremely well received and students asked some very insightful questions at the end of it.
“I really enjoyed learning and widening my prior knowledge on politics. It was very interesting to hear about the voting from past years and some hopes for the coming year with the elections. One fact that really stuck with me was the letter kept on the 4 submarines should the Prime Minister die.” - Hannah W
Psychology Talk with Dr Olga Luzon
Dr Olga Luzon, a Professor from Royal Holloway University came to talk to our sixth form students. Her talk was about her research, her career path as a Clinical Psychologist, as well as the career paths students with a Psychology degree could go into. It was an extremely interesting talk and the attending students got a lot out of it. “The talk was truly eye-opening for us. Learning about the diverse paths into clinical psychology and the myriad career opportunities a psychology degree offers left us feeling inspired and excited. Moreover, exploring the impactful research on topics like domestic abuse and psychosis highlighted the profound potential of psychology to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable individuals.”
“An engaging and inspirational insight into the ‘day in a life’ of a clinical psychologist. We learnt about her specialist research into psychosis, OCD and especially domestic abuse following the 2020 global pandemic. A key message that we took from the talk was the importance of looking at ‘what makes happiness?’ and ‘why we should strive for more’.” - Anna C
