The University has appointed two of our Postgraduate Research students to help ensure our fantastic research environment is visible and accessible to our entire student community.
Richard Wiseman will be focussing on working alongside our undergraduate students and Charlotte Baines will be focussing on working with our Masters students. Richard and Charlotte will be helping coordinate our showcase of research events in May this year, ensuring you know about all the exciting research that is happening right across the University, and the difference it is making in many different contexts, and getting you involved in sharing your own research skills and insights. Here’s a bit more about Richard and Charlotte.
Richard is a PhD student in the School for the Creative Industries. He completed a Masters by Research in Performing Arts at the University of Chester in 2018. Richard is a writer, director and actor, having run the award-winning small-scale touring theatre company. He also works in community arts, brining opportunities to disadvantaged and underrepresented people in society. Richard’s PhD is an investigation in theatrical adaptation, turning works of classic literature into stage plays. They are specifically interested in how this storytelling genre offers unique opportunities to advocate for a more hopeful, fair, and kind society.
Charlotte’s research aims to assess cybersecurity knowledge using the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) and to tailor cyber security training based on an individual’s cyber security knowledge and job role. Her interest in cyber security was sparked during her MSc in Maritime Operations Management.
