PhD research by Loughborough student benefits school children
Research by a PhD student at Loughborough University has helped two local school children become shortlisted for a regional award.
Leanne Franklin, who is studying in the Human Sciences department under PhD supervisor Dr John Cromby, is assessing a number of youngsters on the effect a culture of fear has on childhood and parenting.
Chloe Freeman (12) and Natasha Rose (13), from Garendon High School, are taking part in the programme to promote science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills. The pair have entered a news report about juvenile fears for a regional media award and will know if they have won a top prize on December 10 when the Awards are announced at the National Space Centre in Leicester.
