Yesterday, I attended the post graduate conference at the
university of Birmingham. It was my first time over there. I really enjoyed every
aspect of the day, be it, the posters, the interesting presentations and most of
all the keynote address by Professor Diane Reay from the University of Cambridge.
Professor Reay spoke about the habitus, Bourdieu and English working class students. How these students are at a disadvantage, as
they do not have enough cultural capital when compared with their more middle-class
peers. We must take away the competition and work more on collaboration.
The posters were all of a high quality (including mine!)
which can be found below. The subjects ranged from students perceptions on their
alternative education to apprentice ship learning, from Algerian and Chinese students
mental well being to the well being of first year undergraduates.
I also attended several presentations, which, although not
related to my area of studies, were also highly interesting and informative.
These included those about the history of grammar schools in Manchester, Pupils
premium, Syrian refugee children and also others about ontology and discourse.
I would like to thank the organisers of this conference.
Well done and I hope to see the University
of Birmingham students at the PG conference which will be held at the
University of Warwick next 11th May, 2019.
