Read more about Anthony's work

I’d been following the rollout of PrEP and shared my concerns with friends that there wasn’t enough noise being made about it. They told me I should do something about it – so I did. I spoke to one of my professors, he supported my PhD application, and everything fell into place.

Jenni Ramone, Associate Professor

Re-writing the narrative: breastfeeding experience

Jenni is an Associate Professor in the School of Arts and Humanities, focusing on representations of breastfeeding in global art and literature, comparing located (particular, material contexts) and global representations of breastfeeding in literary texts and works of art.

Learn more about Jenni's research

My research explores the representation of breastfeeding in contemporary global literature and art. The variety of representations and local, national and historical contexts means every image and every text is a rich source to explore.

My PhD research will provide the foundation for a theory of decision-making for presenteeism, which is much needed in the field of occupational health management / human resource management, providing a foundation for future scholars in years to come.

Huijun Chen, PhD at Nottingham Business School

At doctoral level in universities, the number of black people enrolled on research degrees is small. Given this problem, I wanted to understand why, where, and how black people fit in the socio-economic and politico-cultural strata of British society.

Bamba Khan, PhD in Education
