Please join us in welcoming Kris Nolan as the new GSMB PGR student representative.
We are delighted to announce that Kris Nolan has been elected as the new Graduate School Management Board PGR student representative.
We are very thankful to Thanusha VManohor who has done a fantastic job as the rep for the past two years.
We asked Kris to tell us a little about himself and what he will be hoping to bring to the role.
Hi all,
I'm Kris, a second year PhD candidate in SASSHPL, in Humanities & Social Sciences. My research looks at student political activism within digital media - and is highly interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of history, politics and journalism. More widely, my professional life has focused on the student experience. I have been at the University of Portsmouth since 2017, in roles across the University, supporting and enhancing the student experience. Presently, I work for the research centre CEISR, am a Course Rep, President of the PGR Society, and am a Learning Development Tutor.
I am proud to take on the role of Student Representative on the Graduate School's Management Board. I plan to represent PGRS to raise their voices and ensure that their needs and wants are heard to the best of my ability. With my experience, I am well embedded in the student community, and sitting on the GSMB will allow me to support my fellow PGRS, listen and communicate concerns, and have a positive impact on the future of the PGR experience at Portsmouth.
If you would like to have a chat about research, concerns, or your university experience more widely, please drop me an email at kris.nolan@port.ac.uk. Let's get those conversations going!
Best wishes,
Kris
