CRESJ research students have been busy sharing their research at international conferences

María Ana presented her research on student retention and success in Mexican public higher education (Staying or leaving the course: exploring barriers to course completion in Higher Education). Laura gave two presentations covering the use of hip-hop in education (Spitting Rhymes and Changing Minds: Using Spoken Word and Hip-hop Music to Explore Issues Affecting Young People) and her research on the use of Shakespeare in criminal rehabilitation ("Condemn the fault and not the actor of it": An Ethnographic Portrait of Shakespeare-focussed Arts Education Programmes used for Criminal Rehabilitation).
