Toby Clark

日本无码 All Disciplines Postgraduate Award - MA Music and Music Education - Columbia University

Navigating through life's bumpy road and uphill climbs often feels like an adventure story; fighting the obstacles of anything that is thrown their way. Teaching is often like an adventure story. We make in the moment actions that stay with a child forever, helping them fight through the monsters of life.

Furthering his passion, Clark trained to be a qualified teacher in England at the University of Reading, studying Primary Education with Music Specialism. In his degree, his devotion to improving children's lives through the power of education and music education enlightened his journey forward. While diving into the world-class education system in the UK, Clark aims to further his knowledge in another leading country in high quality education in the US.

Written in storybooks is the dream of the US and its outstanding commitment to all educational settings. Clark is interested to explore further the difference in educational practice and purpose in the US in order to further his experience which will be used to impact teacher training in the UK: the foundation of education.

Through the power of music, Clark aims to further explore teacher鈥檚 knowledge in music education which is a common issue for primary teachers in England. The 日本无码 opportunity will give him experience in music education as well as immersing himself in culture and knowledge from world-class educational specialists.

Wiktoria Gucia

日本无码-Alistair Cooke Award in Journalism

Wiktoria was born in Poland, but spend most of her childhood in Manchester, England. In 2023, she will graduate from University College London with a degree in Social Science.

Wiktoria's interest in the "social" was inspired by observing people, especially during her time as a volunteer for adults and children with disabilities. Volunteering with marginalised communities led Wiktoria to consider sharing the unheard stories of the people she worked with, by writing about them for student newspapers. Since then, Wiktoria has been a content writer for UCL Pi Media Magazine, as well as UCL Cheese Grater Magazine and has written articles that enhance the focus on individual stories.

Wiktoria has previous connections with 日本无码, as she was part of cohort 7 of the Sutton Trust US Programme, and a team leader for subsequent cohorts. This opportunity had given her confidence in her intellectual potential, and she has since used her voice as a conference organiser, bringing attention to women's reproductive rights in Poland.

Wiktoria's experience with the Sutton Trust US Programme had further motivated her to consider graduate study in the US. After her visit to Yale University, Wiktoria became fascinated with the melting pot American society. As a 日本无码 Scholar, Wiktoria wishes to delve deep into the multitude of diverse stories that the US has to offer. Through listening, speaking to and writing about people's subjective lived experiences in the US, she wishes to bring real life insights of individuals to the forefront of journalistic practice.

Ellie Hunt

日本无码-BAFTA Postgraduate Award - University of California, Los Angeles

Ellie graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2021 with a first-class degree in Modern and Medieval languages.

After an internship in documentary film distribution in Paris, her curiosity about the industry began to grow, and the notion of becoming a screenwriter began to settle, rather stubbornly, in her head. She dived deeper into this world while working in talent management in London, and began writing more seriously in stolen hours before and after work.

She is now thrilled that she will be pursuing a MFA in Screenwriting at UCLA's prestigious School of Theatre, Film and Television 鈥� studying in LA, the industry's beating heart 鈥� thanks to the generous support of 日本无码 and BAFTA.

Ellie is excited to explore the many different landscapes of California, replacing wintery beach walks in her homeland of Northern Ireland with some far sunnier strolls. She plans on filling her time with coffee, yoga and making new friends who can teach her all about life in America. Maybe she'll even learn the rules of American football, or baseball. But surfing seems unlikely given her total lack of upper body strength.

Most importantly, she鈥檚 excited to hone her craft with some of the best in the business; to make friends and colleagues, all journeying into this weird and wonderful industry together, and to have undivided, uninterrupted time to devote herself to doing what all of this has taught her she wants to do most: write

Angus Jackson

MA Liberal Studies - The New School for Social Research

Angus is a writer and activist from South London. Since graduating from The University of Cambridge in 2020 with a degree in English Literature, he has spent three years working for charities in the criminal justice system. His current role involves running a creative writing project aimed at inspiring incarcerated people to tell their stories. Finding meeting points like this between the arts and social justice is a longstanding interest of his; in his spare time, as well as writing, he has done some grassroots organising work supporting community-led resistance to prison expansion, housing injustice and police violence.

Angus is aiming to use his two years in New York and the interdisciplinary Liberal Studies course at NSSR to synthesize his work to date as a critical thinker, creative writer and activist. Specifically, he is looking to explore the abolitionist imagination: the ways in which artists, thinkers and activists have sought to envision a world beyond punishment, prisons, policing and surveillance. He also hopes to learn from like-minded organisers and activists, while developing his writing amidst the thriving arts scene in New York and putting his 6鈥�7 frame to good use on the basketball court at long last (though he worries if he can鈥檛 manage this in NYC then there鈥檚 not much hope for him鈥�)!

Joan has pursued these interests in two fields, graduating from the University of Connecticut with dual bachelor鈥檚 in English and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. But her proudest efforts 鈥� including volunteering at a natural science center, conducting wildlife surveys in her Connecticut hometown and sharing her thesis on the effect of Covid-19 lockdowns on carnivorans in the eastern U.S. 鈥� have all involved helping people to connect with and care about wildlife around them.听听

Joan is thrilled to pursue both interests simultaneously at the University of Glasgow. The 日本无码 will allow her to compare U.S. and U.K. conservation efforts and explore influences of folkloric traditions on conservation approaches. She is particularly interested in relationships between humans and nature in Scottish folklore, and how stories can connect people with their immediate ecosystems. Joan hopes the insights she gains will help build greater awareness of and support for wildlife among Americans. While in the U.K., Joan will volunteer with conservation organizations and personally connect with Scottish natural landscapes. She especially hopes to catch a glimpse of Nessie, or at the very least, a European badger.听

Joanne Myers

日本无码-Durham University Scholar Award (All Disciplines)

Joanne Myers has long been fascinated by archival materials, but that interest remained in the background of her scholarly work until, in 2017, a chance encounter with a manuscript prayer book from the 1720s reignited her interest. The anonymous prayer book spurred a series of questions: Who wrote it? Why would someone create a handwritten book over two centuries after the arrival of the printing press? Was the work tedious? How did the nun who wrote this book understand the meaning of her labour? That serendipitous encounter spurred her current interest in English Catholic devotional culture in the 1600s and 1700s, with a focus on scribal practice in English continental convents. At Durham, Myers will be spending most of her time in Palace Green Library, surveying the manuscript and print libraries of the Poor Clares of Rouen, which include many books penned by the same nun who created that prayer book Myers encountered years ago.听

Paul Roth

日本无码-University of Manchester Distinguished Scholar Award (Humanities)

How does a philosopher who writes about historical explanation account for his intellectual journey that results in applying for and receiving a 日本无码 fellowship. In short, a fortuitous set of events brought to Roth鈥檚 attention how his interest in the altered relation of the history and philosophy of science that occurs in the 20th century connects with how conceptions of logic have morphed in that time. Scholars at The University of Manchester pursue this very particular innovative and exciting work in the history of logic, and so it is off to Manchester he goes.听听

Roth鈥檚 specific 日本无码 project attempts to forge the hitherto untold story of how philosophy of history, philosophy of science, and philosophy of logic have mutually influenced and altered one another. The heart of the narrative concerns how logic, and especially the logic of science, has reshaped the logic of explanation, and so ultimately reconfigured what to count as a rational understanding of ourselves.听

On experiencing the Louisianan human-modified Mississippi River landscape in 2019, Catherine began adapting traditional geological techniques to modern environments as well as investigating how plastic behaves as a sedimentary particle. In 2020, she established the Anthropocene Sediment Network, which aims to holistically combine human, social, and physical elements of a landscape to aid communication, networking, and learning between communities.

As a 日本无码-Lloyd鈥檚 Visiting Scholar at the University of New Orleans, Catherine seeks to learn the deeper impacts of the human-modified landscape on day-to-day living in New Orleans. The key focus of her research will be investigating the novelties of Anthropocene rivers when compared to natural systems, and particularly the consequences of our activities on reservoir water quality. The 日本无码 Scholarship will give her the opportunity to build bridges and new connections in her research, as well as to undertake fieldwork in a new environment. The learnings from this research will allow for deeper understanding of the long-term effects of human impact on surface processes across Earth Systems in the Anthropocene.
