"The center’s main purpose is to explore the ways that education policy and school management are both shaped by and shape geography." Please welcome our newest center Center for Geography of Education Policy. Led by Bryan Mann, associate professor in the Department of Educational Leadership & Policy Studies, the center was born from Mann's own research exploring school district enrollment patterns, the relationship between space and educational inequality, and segregation in schools. https://lnkd.in/gBx2XNx6

Delighted to have secured three-years of funding from the Leverhulme Trust to work with colleagues at the Natural History Museum, Nottingham Trent University, Manchester University, SUERC, and the Hawk Conservancy Trust. The project "raptors unwrapped" will combine new, non-destructive scientific analyses of mummies, with ornithologically informed evaluation of art historical and written evidence. This will transform understanding of the exploitation of raptors in Late and Ptolemaic Egypt (712-30 BCE), when vast numbers were mummified on an industrial scale and inform upon long-term change in wild bird populations.
