King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize 2021

Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize!

Twenty awards are given across the year to celebrate truly outstanding research and theses completed by King’s doctoral students. The prizes are nominated by the external examiners and are judged by a panel consisting of the College’s Director of Research Talent and the Chair of the Research Degrees Examinations Board.

We have an exceptional community of postgraduate researchers at King’s. Each year we recognise 20 of the very best, who have been nominated by their examiners. The standard is incredibly high, in terms of the quality and impact of the research and the clarity and skill of the written thesis. Most winners have published multiple papers and won prizes at conferences, some are already shaping their fields, forging new avenues of research and changing national policy, whether in the UK or abroad. It is definitely one of the most inspiring and enjoyable part of my role to read the submissions from the examiners and the supervisors’ supporting statements. -Dr Nigel Eady, Director of Research Talent & King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize panellist.

Take a look at some reflections from the 2021 winners:

Thesis: The legal nature of export credit insurance and export credit guarantee: a comparative study between the UK and China.

I feel greatly honoured to be awarded this prize. I would like to thank Prof Özlem Gürses and Prof Eva Lomnicka QC (Hon), my dear supervisors at King’s, for their endless support. I am also grateful to King’s for offering me a generous PhD scholarship and various conference and research allowances. My PhD is a pleasant and unforgettable journey in my life. I enjoyed a number of interesting training courses organised by the Centre for Doctoral Studies, which substantially improved my academic skills. I also benefit from my internship research project at the International Union of Credit & Investment Insurers, where I was able to examine whether the legal theory fits the practice in the real commercial world. For those who are about to submit, I encourage you to keep a health daily routine. Do work hard, but also eat well, sleep sound and get some exercise every day. And always take notes when you come up with some fresh ideas even if they are not directly related to your thesis. Happy research and good luck!

Thesis: Informing the knowledge gap of implementation of the World Health Organisation Surgical Safety Checklist in sub-Saharan Africa.

I loved every minute of my PhD at King’s and am indebted to my supervisors Dr Andy Leather and Prof Nick Sevdalis for their constant guidance and encouragement. They created an atmosphere that was both intellectually stretching and supportive. For me, writing my thesis was a way to express all that I had discovered and become passionate about over the last three years, which meant it was an enjoyable experience rather than a chore. I would encourage anyone interested in doing a PhD to find subject you love and supervisors who you can connect with – then you will have some of the best years of your life.

Dr Luis Medina, Faculty of Arts & Humanities

Thesis: Where are the Borders? (Re)Imagining the Nation in Contemporary Ecuadorian Literature.

I remember my PhD years at King’s as some of the happiest of my life. I can’t help but smile when I think that I was privileged enough to spend so many hours reading and writing about the literature that I love. One of the most decisive aspects of my doctoral experience was my fantastic supervision team. I’ll be forever grateful to Dr Elisa Sampson Vera Tudela and Professor Catherine Boyle from the Department of Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies. Their unconditional academic and emotional support helped me to produce a thesis that won three prizes and is already being edited for publication. After receiving my award in August 2020, I held a teaching position at the University of Manchester, and I’m thrilled to share that, from September 2021, I’ll be joining the University of Birmingham on a permanent lectureship in Modern Languages (Spanish).

Dr Emma Kinnaird, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoology & Neuroscience

Thesis: Beyond the stereotypes: characterising the unique features of underresearched eating disorder populations, and implications for treatment.

I feel incredibly lucky to have spent three years researching a topic that I feel passionate about, supported by two wonderful supervisors who really took time to adjust the project to my strengths and interests. I’m now taking the skills I’ve learned in my PhD and putting them into practice as I train as a clinical psychologist at Oxford University.

Dr Pablo Lopez-Custodio, Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Thesis: Design of Reconfigurable and Mobility-Variable Linkages with Singularity Analysis and Kinematic Analysis Using Generated Surfaces

I dedicate this prize, and the thesis itself, to the loving memory of my dad Sigfrido Lopez-Zamudio, who passed away during my first year of PhD in King’s College London. Thank you having been an ever-present inspiration.

Dr Jessica Dafflon, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

Thesis: Machine Learning Methods in Neuroimaging.

I feel honoured and grateful to have been awarded the King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize. I would like to thank the Center for Doctoral Training in Smart Medical Imaging for this opportunity, my PhD advisors Prof. Federico Turkheimer and Dr. Peter Hellyer. But above all, I would like to thank Prof. Robert Leech, Dr. Walter Hugo Lopez Pinaya, and Pedro Carvalho De Paula Ferreira da Costa for the support during the hard times and the brilliant discussions we had. Lastly, I would like to congratulate Thomas Helfer on also winning the King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize and on making my time at King’s College an unforgettable experience.

Dr Thomas Helfer, Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Thesis: Exotic Compact Objects in Numerical Relativity.

I am delighted to win this thesis prize, which was only possible with the help of the fantastic people that surrounded me during my Ph.D. journey. They not only helped me foster my passion and love for numerical relativity, but they were also there to share a coffe or beer during the challenging times. Thanks especially to Eugene Lim, my excellent supervisor, who always had time for questions and discussions, and shaped me into the scientist I am today. I would also like to thank Jessica Dafflon for being present during the difficult times and congratulations on also winning the KCL thesis prize.

Thesis: The timing of key events and mutational processes in tumour evolution.

I was really delighted to be nominated for this prize – it feels pretty surreal to write up four years’ work into one thesis, and definitely takes a bit of stamina! I have so many great memories from my time in the lab, where I was working on a project trying to reconstruct the evolutionary history of cancer from genome sequencing data. While I was based at the Francis Crick Institute, I was also affiliated with King’s, and definitely appreciate the great support I received from both during my studies.

Dr Jaffar Khan, Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine

Thesis: Novel transcatheter electrosurgical laceration of heart valve leaflets to prevent blood flow obstruction from transcatheter heart valve implantation.

I am thrilled to be awarded the Kings’ Outstanding Thesis Prize for my work on novel cardiovascular interventions. It is so unbelievably gratifying knowing that the techniques described in my thesis have already helped treat thousands of patients worldwide.

Dr Cristina Fernandez Turienzo, Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine

Thesis: Evaluation of the introduction of a midwifery continuity of care model for women at increased risk of preterm birth.

I am delighted to receive this prestigious award in recognition for my PhD work. I will always be in debt to my amazing supervisors Prof Jane Sandall, Prof Andy Shennan and Dr Kirstie Coxon, thesis committee members and many other people within Kings (and outside!) who supported me in one way or another. Thank you also to my examiners for such a positive online PhD viva experience. I have recently received a NIHR DSE award and I am looking forward to enhance my learning of clinical trials in global health.

Dr Tiago Rua, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

Thesis: The economics of implementing new clinical pathways across community and hospital-based care.

As part of my PhD I have tried to bridge the gap between the economics and medical imaging fields by applying health economics methodologies across multiple clinical conditions and imaging modalities. Currently, I am working as a Programme Manager of the Covid-19 Vaccination Programme at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust.

Dr Elisa Bruno, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience

Thesis: Wearable non-EEG sensors for seizure detection

My experience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, has been fantastic during my PhD, and has helped me to develop professionally in a very inspiring way. It is a great workplace where I’ve found contagious positivity, enthusiasm and knowledge.

Dr Rosina Matilde, Social Science & Public Policy

Thesis: Deterrence and international migration: The criminalisation of irregular entry and stay in Italy and France.

It’s an honour to be awarded the King’s Outstanding Thesis Prize. I would like to thank all my interviewees, for agreeing to share their knowledge and experiences with me. A special thanks also goes to Professor Simona Talani, and to my examiners Professor Henk Overbeek and Dr Anna Sergi. Since finishing my PhD, I have joined the European Institute at LSE as a fellow, and look forward to continuing my work on migration.

Sevra G. Güzel: The Good or The Bad? and The Ugly: German Implementation of Article 17 and Self-Regulation of OCSSPs

As a part of the Digital Single Market Strategy actions to make EU copyright rules fit the digital age, The Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market was published in the official journal in 2019. However, Article 17 of this Directive, with its ‘best efforts’ obligations, faced heavy criticism, as in order to realistically fulfil the Article’s requirements, platforms should use automated content recognition tools, namely ‘upload filters’. These technologies have a significant negative impact on users’ freedom of expression which is an important problem that the Member States need to consider for their implementations of the Article. With the aim of delivering recommendations for a fundamental rights compliant implementation of Article 17, this article provides different perspectives on Article 17 by examining the German implementation together with the current self-regulation of the online content-sharing service providers (OCSSPs) to provide an insight into the recent picture with Article 17. This implementation has a great significance since it gives the Member States a one-of-a-kind chance to tackle the long-standing issues with striking the fair balance between fundamental rights in the online enforcement of IP rights.

Aline Iramina: Copyright Governance by Algorithms: rules and standards on algorithmic transparency?

This paper has the objective of examining what are the rules and standards on algorithmic transparency that currently apply in the context of copyright governance in the UK and the EU. Following debates on online platforms’ regulation, competition law, data protection and artificial intelligence, more transparency from online platforms, particularly in the use of algorithms, has become a demand of copyright users and creators. Drawing on the concepts of public and social transparency developed by Amitai Etzioni and on his idea that transparency as an alternative to regulation is overvalued, we explore the key legal developments in the EU and the UK that provide for algorithmic transparency rules in order to present a general overview of algorithmic transparency frameworks in the EU and the UK and identify potential legal gaps within copyright law. Overall, it was possible to verify in this study that the focus of most of these regulations is still on intermediary service providers. Moreover, within copyright law, both EU and UK policymakers still focus more on regulating content moderation systems than recommender systems, even though in recent years there are signs that this might be changing.

Oprah Nwobike: Contemporary Legal Challenges in the Meaning of "Author" Within the Context of AI-Generated Works and Copyright Law

Machines creating art, writing poems, composing music, and performing other tasks originally deemed limited to human creativity and intelligence is still a relatively a modern phenomenon that legal systems have struggled to adequately contain. The central inquiry of this paper is how to exactly interpret the meaning and effect of ‘authorship’ in copyright, where AI is used to fully or partly create copyrightable works? A corollary question is predicated on the established notion of law that benefits and burdens go hand in hand: thus, if a human actor is able to claim the creative benefits of AI, will they also be liable in the event the AI activities result to breaches of rights? In that case, who would be sued, and who will pay for damages in the event of liability? This paper re-examines the meanings of copyright and authorship of AI-generated works in light of the current English (and European) legal frameworks with the aim of ascertaining the theoretical legal implications and justifications of deeming AI either as an autonomous or semi-autonomous system, and how all these redefinitions will likely affect the primary rationale behind the copyright protection.

Scarlett Swain: Oat With the Old, In With the New: Oatly’s Creative Trade Marks, Branding and Controversial Advertising Campaigns

In modern times brands matter, and understandably so, as they have become a staple of business theory and practice and are a defining feature of the modern economy. Big names are all well aware of the power and value that their brands hold. Oatly, the Swedish plant-based company, is now one of the biggest names in the plant-based industry, but their road to success has been a somewhat unconventional one. There is a significant amount that can be learnt from Oatly ’ s rise to success, especially in relation to their utilisation of trade marks, branding, and controversial advertising campaigns. This paper will provide an overview of Oatly ’ s growth as a business and brand, and critically examine Oatly ’ s controversial battles with the Swedish diary lobby, and how ultimately, through a creative use of both trade marks and advertising campaigns, Oatly were able to pro-actively defend against the powerful and influential dairy lobby. From here, this paper will argue that one the key reasons for Oatly ’ s success was through creating a fundamental, emotional connection between the consumer and the company by successfully implementing a form of brand activism. This paper will contend the fact that trade marks are a means of source identification for a specific brand can be used to protect the consumer while advancing the causes of environmentalism and sustainability.

Marie White: Recognising the Importance of Horizontal Social Distinction

Trade mark law has expanded from being solely concerned with the origin function of marks to incorporating far wider functions such as advertising and investment; it appears to be becoming the law of brands. Within the discourse of other disciplines, such as the sociology of consumption and consumer culture theory, brands are implicated in sustaining forms of social distinction. My doctoral thesis seeks to identify differences in the conception of branding as a social practice in these disciplines and the conception of consumer behaviour used by courts and registries in trade mark decisions through both discourse and content analysis of trade mark decisions where Article 8(5) or 9(2)(c) EUTMR are invoked. Differences between the accounts of consumer behaviours may result in trade mark law inadvertently enforcing a consumption-based system of social distinction by providing only a thin or incomplete account of branding practices. This paper forms part of the first chapter of my doctoral thesis and builds on the work of Veblen and Bourideu on the topic of social distinction and consumption to demonstrate that there are normative codes which determine that certain goods, or indeed brands, are used predominately by individuals belonging to a particular group in a consumption-based system of social distinction. I seek to define this system in both its horizontal and vertical forms, demonstrating that whilst social distinction is multifaceted, it always presents a hierarchy of some form due to snobbery between groups. Despite the flaws present in both Veblen and Bourdieu’s theories, I argue that the two are complementary and when reworked and combined the two can be helpful in understanding modern consumption practices and consumer attitudes to brands. It appears that some of this understanding of consumer behaviour is currently missing from trade mark law theory and doctrine but the extent to which this is the case is not yet clear. My project seeks to address this gap in the literature.

Wissam Aoun: The Hypothetical Infringer? Implications of the Synthesis of Professional Patent Agency and the Anglo-American Hypothetical Person Skilled in the Art

Historical patent jurisprudence abounds with statements that the hypothetical person skilled in the art is not a lawyer. However, recent case law suggests the opposite, going so far as to state that the hypothetical person skilled in the art is expected to consult with a professional patent agent during claim construction. Beginning from the principle that the hypothetical skilled person takes her place among law’s other ‘reasonable people’, this article conducts an analysis of Anglo-American law’s other ‘reasonable people’ to determine what this might tell us about the hypothetical skilled person’s expanding patent law knowledge base. This analysis concludes that in other areas of law, the reasonable person often consults with external legal professionals when her own legal rights and liabilities are at stake. Consulting with external legal experts is meant to guide the reasonable person’s conduct to ensure that her rights are protected or to ensure that she avoids potential legal liability. Correspondingly, if patent jurisprudence posits that the hypothetical person skilled in the art is expected to consult with legal experts when reading and interpreting a patent, then the law treads close to implicitly transforming the hypothetical skilled person into a potential infringer who is reading a patent predominantly as an exercise in avoiding infringement rather than an exercise in knowledge acquisition. This article suggests that the objectives often posited in support of this transformation may be misguided.

Barasha Borthakur: Who Owns What? Patent Landscaping of Environmentally Sound Technologies

Climate change is the common concern of humankind which should be dealt efficiently through international cooperation. Innovations and transfer of environmentally sound technologies (ESTs) are one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change which have been the prime focus of multiple multilateral agreements and negotiations. The access to such technologies is vital for all the countries, irrespective of their developmental needs, so as to build a legal regime surrounding technology transfer (TT) of ESTs. However, the current claim is that such access is difficult for two reasons: firstly, there is a negligible and inefficient TT of ESTs due to the dearth of international legal instruments; and secondly, the concentration of ESTs lies in the hands of a few countries and/or corporations. In this paper, I argue why it is vital to understand who generates and possesses ESTs, as well as who are the primary technology recipients, in order to properly evaluate the influence of the global IPR regime on development and transfer of ESTs. The overall consensus in the literature tends to be that EST innovation is centered mostly in developed nations. When it comes to TT of these ESTs, the benefits of the transfers are not equally distributed as the key recipients of the same are only a few developing nations. The article contributes to the existing literature in at least three ways. First, in contrast to previous literature done in this field, the current study uses more recent data (using OECD Stats database and INNOGRAPHY (Derwent) database) and time series to investigate the concentration of ESTs; second, the involved ESTs covered by this study reach beyond specific clean energy technologies, covering almost all climate-related ESTs; and third, it uses market mapping to analyse the position of owners of ESTs in the relevant market in question.

Li Liu: Patent quality: A Rabbit Hole

Complaints regarding the surging volume of low-quality patents have gained momentum in the recent decades across the Atlantic. This phenomenon is accused of being harmful in many ways, such as encouraging abuse, sabotaging the patent system, blocking innovation, and raising social and private costs. This paper intends to offer a comprehensive understanding of the patent quality issue. To achieve this goal, it investigates five aspects: the history, the definition, the measurement, the proposals, and the examination. It unveils a vexing situation: the definition is kaleidoscopic, the measurement is problematic, the proposals are precarious, and the approach of intensifying examination is frustrating. This disappointing situation reveals a rabbit hole named patent quality, into which institutions, practitioners, and scholars fall and have been struggling to find a way out.

Ashleigh Hamidzadeh: Direct Infringement of Second Medical Indication Patents and Pharmaceutical Regulation: Is an Integrated Approach Attainable?

The paper examines the compatibility of the direct patent infringement provisions in section 60(1) Patents Act 1977 with pharmaceutical regulations and practice in the United Kingdom. It assesses whether these two legal frameworks are aligned and considers how greater convergence could provide second medical indication patents with appropriate protection. The regulations and practices governing a medicaments journey from creation to use can be divided into two streams. Pre-marketing approval regulation controls a medicaments entrance into the market; including the requirements of clinical trials and market authorisation. Upon entry into the market, post-marketing approval procedures oversee the prescribing practices of practitioners and the dispensing praxis of pharmacists. The outward presentation approach to direct patent infringement adopted by the majority of the Supreme Court in Warner-Lambert Company LLC v Generics [2018] UKSC 56 establishes that liability will be found if the packaging and labelling of a medicament includes patented indications. The paper examines the relationship between the approaches taken to determining direct patent infringement in the Warner Lambert litigation and the regulations over a medicament’s entry into the market, the regulatory exclusivities available to novel medicaments, as well as the practices followed by actors downstream. In so doing, it proposes a more integrated approach to direct patent infringement and pharmaceutical regulation.

Rebecca Owens: Dissecting Biotechnological Research: A Microscopic Look at the Experimental Use Exception

Foundational biotechnological research tools such as CRISPR are frequently removed from open science to be patented and 'monopolised' by their inventor. However, due to the nature of biotechnological research, access becomes necessary for innovation to occur and is privately leveraged through licensing. A growing body of evidence suggests that broad biotechnological patent claims, thickets around crucial technology and the associated transaction costs with negotiating licenses can affect scientific researchers and slow innovation. To mitigate this, the UK has a long tradition of providing an experimental use exception to patentee rights for the purposes of experimentation. The exception has attracted considerable scholarly attention in the US, but the UK's provisions have received significantly less interest. This paper addresses this by systematically evaluating the applicability of the exemption to biotechnological research tools and considering its efficacy in preventing the paralysation of scientific progress. Recently, there has been renewed scholarly and public interest in facilitating access to scientific research in light of the COVID-19 crisis. Therefore, this research provides a timely and necessary evaluation of the research exemption and offers pragmatic suggestions for further research.

Matt Malone: A Framework for Public Interest Limiting Principles in Trade Secret and Confidential Information Decisions

This paper proposes a framework for the consideration of competing public interests in decisions to grant legal protections to trade secrets and confidential information. It argues that there is a meaningful role for public interest analysis in the adjudication of such decisions. Although this consideration has primarily arisen in the past as a defense in cases of publication, a competition of public interests has always been imminent to the law. After exposing this key aspect of the law, the paper reviews the two normative accounts for trade secret and confidential information law: deontological justifications, which maintain the law is necessary to enforce and deter certain conduct; and utilitarian justifications, which claim the law incentivizes innovation. The paper argues the utilitarian account is superior in the modern context and should be privileged to better consider and reflect public interests. Following this argument, the paper takes a prescriptive approach and proposes a balancing test to recognize the competition of public interests imminent to the law in an overt and intentional manner. It argues this balancing test is consistent with the foundations of the law and can redress procedural flaws that weaken consideration of certain public interests.

Josh was awarded an IBIL Scholarship in 2020, and he is now in the 2 nd year of his PhD. He is researching patent subject matter eligibility, and hopes that his research will advance an effort to reform the current ambiguous standard of determining eligibility with a more harmonized, certain, and predictable version of this complex area. The information age has ushered in new importance on data and information inventions – like Internet, software, and business method technologies – meaning that the subject matter eligibility rules of patent law may need to adapt, in the United States and globally, to incorporate these non-traditional inventions.

Integrated Content & Language in Algerian Higher Education (ICLHE)

Welcome to the icl resource center.

This website has been developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State , the Columbia University Global Center in Tunis , the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research , the Office of Global Engagement at Teachers College , and the Applied Linguistics and TESOL program at Teachers College . This resource website provides a wide-range of integrated content and language (ICL) resources and materials for in-service faculty at universities across Algeria who wish to implement the ICL approach in their own classrooms.

ICL is a state-of-the-art approach to English language education in the Algerian higher education context. In the ICL instructional approach, the focus is not just on the development of linguistic resources, but also on the simultaneous development of topical or disciplinary understandings needed to display real-world professional competencies. The motivation behind re-envisioning English language programming in the Algerian higher educational context comes from a government mandate to enable a more competitive workforce, and also to provide Algerians with the linguistic means to showcase their professional output on the world stage.

2nd iclhe roundtable conference.

The Algerian Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE) program is a professional development initiative composed of four modules on teaching integrated content and language (ICL) in the context of higher education. All modules are based on theory and research, but will emphasize experiential learning and the application of theory to practice. Currently, the program is running its 3rd cohort.

This online roundtable will showcase the work of participants in Cohorts 1 and 2. The participants — Algerian Subject Matter Instructors (SMIs), Language Teacher Trainers (LTTs), and English Language Instructors (ELIs) — present their collaborative projects on the application of ICL instruction in the Algerian context within specific disciplinary domains.

Assessment, Testing, and Evaluation in Teaching Languages Extended Deadline

It is important to look into how language teachers and stakeholders are assessing, evaluating, and testing students in the language classroom. Instructors should learn what and when to assess, test, or evaluate, and how to use the results to determine what needs to be learned and how to learn it. The conference aims to bring teachers, researchers, students, university administrations, etc to share their visions and research findings for an academic debate on the subject. The conference objectives are: Investigating the ways of assessing, testing, and evaluating learners, Introducing innovative approaches to assessment, testing, or evaluation in teaching languages, Bridging the gap between curricula /syllabi and learners' academic performance, Exchanging approaches, strategies, and resources for teaching /learning languages, and Developing standards and framework for language instruction, learning, and assessment.

Implementing CLIL in Algerian Higher Education

This international conference is mainly organized to provide researchers, mainly language and content teachers, with the opportunity to work collaboratively with each from his or her disciplinary context of interest and relevance, to discuss and suggest possible teaching methods and strategies for creating instructional teaching lessons and materials in which language (English) and content are integrated. The organizers think that CLIL offers learners a natural setting for learning targeted foreign language more that when learning the language isolated from the content. It should be highlighted right from the beginning that in CBI, the determination of what to teach (“selection”) is largely derived from the content itself. This leads to the concept of “content driving the curriculum”. Because the area also colors the decision of how to order items (“sequencing”) in the syllabus…

ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES OR ENGLISH AS MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION? THE ALGERIAN TERTIARY DILEMMA

An essential aim of the conference is to offer practical and visible evidence of innovative methodologies and practices in ESP and EMI instruction. We aspire to highlight the changes in science education that the Algerian university is making in order to bring its programs to the practitioner’s desktop. However, there is nothing like the experience of a teacher presented in person, especially given the opportunity the conference provides for comparing experiences, peer interactions, and immediate access to experts in ESP and EMI teaching curricula and practices.

Sessions and panel discussions will explore current ESP and EMI issues in terms of technical or practical contributions that should feature cutting-edge information by in a range of integrated methods monitoring ESP and EMI instruction. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD CONFERENCE PROGRAM

ESP Teaching Today: Current Practices, Challenges, and Perspectives (Conference March 6th - March 7th)

Since its emergence in the late 1960s, ESP has undergone a constant process of development, defining its scope, improving methodology, shaping its objectives and orientations, and enlarging the number of course books designed to serve its purposes. Yet, ESP teaching practices remain extremely varied depending on practitioners, institutions and countries. Therefore, this conference focuses on today’s diversity of ESP teaching/learning. It also raises the question of the theoretical foundations of ESP practices and, as such, welcomes papers on all aspects and issues of ESP didactics.

The main objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the field of ESP over discussions of various themes building upon their classroom experiences and field research tracking day- to- day challenges and obstacles... CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD CONFERENCE PROGRAM

Testimonials

" As a teacher trainer, the ICLHE training was an opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about new perspectives and challenges in ICL. The training helped me understand innovative approaches and integrated methods in ICL. The modules we took and the heavy workload in this training not only helped us learn new concepts but also rectified different misconceptions we had, most notably in assessment-related practices. As challenging as it seems to apply what I learned, I believe it is crucial to collaborate with subject specialists to find a common ground, solve pedagogical issues, and share best practices. As for the materials provided by the trainers, I still check them for future use. The professors were extremely interactive and the whole team was very helpful. I am glad I was a part of a great experience."

- Dr. Tarek Assassi, University of Biskra, Language Teacher Trainer

" By taking the ICLHE course, I have developed the skills and knowledge needed to effectively integrate language and content, leading to better learning outcomes for my students. I also gained confidence in my abilities as an educator. This translated into a more positive classroom environment, where I currently feel empowered to take risks and try new teaching methods such as group work, project-based learning, authentic assessments, LOA framework and scenario-based approach. These techniques can help create a positive and interactive classroom environment that promotes deeper understanding and critical thinking. Jim and his program team at TC Columbia deserve our highest regard, appreciation, and gratitude for their direction, compassion, and invaluable assistance."

-Dr. Wafaa Tihal, ENS Bouzareah, Language Teacher Trainer

"I must say that I have never analyzed the English language I have been using for many years, until I had the opportunity to meet Jim Purpura, Donna Brinton, and Eric Voss, thanks to the program collaboration with Teachers College in partnership with the Algerian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. With my team members, I have learnt how to analyse what I was doing in my career as researcher and teacher. Now I am applying the methods I have learnt in this training program in my own teaching practice, mainly to help my Ph.D. students write their scientific productions in English."

RIP, Bill Walton: The Pac-12’s greatest supporter passes away

Two days after the Pac-12 took its final competitive breath, the conference lost its soul.

Bill Walton passed away Monday after 71 years of a life like no other, ever.

The cause: cancer.

Left unsaid: a broken heart.

Walton might have been the greatest player in college basketball history. He won two NCAA titles with UCLA and two more in the NBA (with Portland and Boston) and was a no-brainer Hall of Fame inductee.

He was the world’s preeminent Grateful Dead fan, a cycling enthusiast, a passionate environmentalist, a voracious reader and an iconic sports broadcaster.

He was as brilliant as he was goofy, as genuine as he was colorful, as joyous as he was loquacious.

Oh, could he talk.

My first conversation with Walton, years ago, was by telephone. I dialed; he answered. I introduced myself; he thanked me for calling, then spoke for 40 consecutive minutes — I did not utter a peep — on a surreal range of topics.

The conversation at the Pearly Gates just went next-level, folks.

Bill Walton, Hall of Fame player who became a star broadcaster, dies of cancer at 71
Reaction to the death of Bill Walton, the Hall of Famer who died Monday

Also, Walton was the most passionate, unrelenting champion of his beloved ‘Conference of Champions.’

Using his platform on ESPN and the Pac-12 Networks, Walton became the face and voice of the Pac-12 — a favorite of conference executives and campus officials alike.

For years, the only thing former commissioner Larry Scott and his marginalized athletic directors had in common was their fondness for Walton.

He loved engaging with fans, took a sincere interest in the athletes and continually praised the quality of play, even when the metrics were at odds with his reality.

It made sense: The UCLA graduate used to credit the Pac-12 “for my life.”

When UCLA and USC announced in the summer of 2022 that they were leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, Walton was crushed.

He remained silent for months, then finally authored “ UCLA’s Wrong Turn ,” a poetic lament offered as a written statement:

“I don’t believe that joining the Big 10 is in the best interest of UCLA, its students, its athletes, its alumni, its fans, the rest of the UC system, the State of California, or the world at large.”

Later in the statement, he wrote:

“I have spoken to no one, other than the highest-level directors of athletics at UCLA, who think that this proposed move to the Big 10 is a good idea,

“Every argument made by these senior ADs and why they like it, is about money,

“These same proponents of moving to the Big 10, are the first people I have ever encountered in my life,

“Who have claimed economic hardship and limitations in Los Angeles,

“And that the solution lies in the Midwest.”

Walton continued his broadcasting duties for ESPN and the Pac-12 Networks, mixing life stories with game analysis as only he could. But the heartache endured.

His passing on Monday, first announced by the NBA, came two days after the final athletic competition for the Pac-12 as we know it: Arizona’s victory over USC in the conference baseball tournament.

Whether Walton was aware of the event, we cannot say.

But he passed away two months before the Pac-12 he knew and loved fades to black. On Aug. 2, the departing schools will join their new leagues.

The list of King’s alumni not only features many acclaimed contemporary authors—Michael Morpurgo, Alain de Botton, Hanif Kureishi, Marina Lewycka, Susan Hill, Lawrence Norfolk, Ross Raisin, Alexander Masters, Anita Brookner, and Helen Cresswell—it also includes major figures in literature, such as Maureen Duffy, Arthur C Clarke, Thomas Hardy, Christopher Isherwood, BS Johnson, John Keats, W. Somerset Maugham, and Virginia Woolf.

Course Detail

Our postgraduate writing students are given a supportive environment in which to enhance their technique, to explore the depths of their ideas, to sustain their creative motivation, and to prepare them for the demands of the writer’s life beyond the College.

At King's we know that writing well requires self-discipline and an ability to work productively in isolation; but we also appreciate that postgraduate writers thrive when they are part of a community of fellow authors, an environment of constructive criticism and shared endeavour.

That is why we offer our PhD students the guidance of knowledgeable and experienced practitioners. They will have frequent opportunities to interact and collaborate with peers and forge lasting connections within London’s writing industry.

Students will be expected to attend the quarterly Thesis Workshop, and also to take an active part in curating literary events at King’s, including the Poetry And… quarterly reading series. They will be invited to apply for positions teaching undergraduate creative writing modules as part of the Department’s Graduate Teaching Assistantship (GTA) scheme.

After three years (full-time) or six years (part-time), students are expected to submit either:

a novel or short story collection
a poetry collection
a full-length work of creative non-fiction

In addition, they are also required to submit an essay (up to 15,000 words) that examines their practical approach to the conception, development, and revision of their project, and which explores how their creative work was informed by research (archival, book-based, or experiential).

How to apply
Fees or Funding

Many of our incoming students apply for AHRC funding via the London Arts and Humanities Partnership. Please see their website ( www.lahp.ac.uk ) for more detail of deadlines, application procedure and awards available. Also the ‘Student Funding’ section of the Prospectus will give you more information on other scholarships available from King’s.

Study environment

Base campus

Strand Campus

Located on the north bank of the River Thames, the Strand Campus houses King's College London's arts and sciences faculties.

PhD in Creative Writing students are taught through one-to-one sessions with an appointed supervisor in their chosen specialism (fiction, creative non-fiction, or poetry) as well as through quarterly thesis workshops. They are also appointed a second supervisor whose role is to offer an additional perspective on the work being produced.

We place great emphasis on pastoral care and are a friendly and welcoming department in the heart of London. Our home in the Virginia Woolf Building offers many spaces for postgraduate students to work and socialise. Studying in London means students have access to a huge range of libraries from the Maughan Library at King’s to the Senate House Library at the University of London and the British Library.

Our PhD Creative Writing students are taught exclusively by practicing, published writers of international reputation. These include:

Benjamin Wood (Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing)

Supervises projects in fiction.

Edmund Gordon (Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing)

Supervises projects in fiction and creative non-fiction.

Sarah Howe (Lecturer in Poetry)

Supervises projects in poetry.

Anthony Joseph (Lecturer in Creative Writing)

Supervises projects in poetry and fiction.

Jon Day (Senior Lecturer in English)

Supervises projects in creative non-fiction and fiction

Lara Feigel (Professor of Modern Literature)

Supervises projects in creative non-fiction and fiction.

Ruth Padel (Professor Emerita of Poetry)

Andrew O’Hagan (Visiting Professor)

*Teaching staff may vary according to research leave and availability.

Our programme also incorporates the following taught components:

Thesis Workshop

A termly writing seminar for the discussion and appraisal of works-in-progress. These are taught on a rotational basis by all members of the creative writing staff, so that students get the benefit of hearing a range of voices and opinions on their work throughout the course.

The Writing Life

A suite of exclusive guest talks and masterclasses from leading authors, publishers, and editors, in which students receive guidance from people working at the top level of the writing industry and learn about the various demands of maintaining a career as a writer.

Recent speakers have included Amit Chaudhuri, Chris Power, Rebecca Watson, Mendez, Frances Leviston, Joanna Biggs, Joe Dunthorne, Francesca Wade, Kishani Widyaratna, Jacques Testard and Leo Robson.

Other elements of professional development are included in the degree:

Agents-in-Residence

Candidates in fiction or creative-nonfiction will meet and discuss their work in one-to-one sessions with invited literary agents, who are appointed to yearly residencies. These sessions offer writers a different overview of the development of their project: not solely from the standpoint of authorial technique, but with a view towards the positioning of their writing within a competitive and selective industry. Poetry candidates will meet and discuss their work with invited editors from internationally recognised poetry journals and presses.

Undergraduate Teaching

Through our Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) training scheme, our PhD students can apply to lead undergraduate creative writing workshops in fiction, creative non-fiction, and/or poetry, enabling them to acquire valuable HE-level teaching experience that will benefit them long after graduation.

Reading Series

Our students are required to participate in the curation of literary events at King’s. They are also responsible for curating Poetry And… , a quarterly reading in which leading poets illuminate the powerful connections between poetry and other disciplines. Students will develop skills in public engagement by chairing discussions and may also perform excerpts of their own writing.

Postgraduate Training

There is a range of induction events and training provided for students by the Centre for Doctoral Studies, the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the English Department. A significant number of our students are AHRC-funded through the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP) which also provides doctoral training to all students. All students take the ‘Doctoral Seminar’ in their first year. This is a series of informal, staff-led seminars on research skills in which students can share and gain feedback on their own work. We run a series of ‘Skills Lunches’, which are informal lunch meetings with staff, covering specific topics, including Upgrading, Attending Conferences, Applying for Funding and Post-Doctoral Awards, etc. Topics for these sessions are generally suggested by the students themselves, so are particularly responsive to student needs. We have an Early Career Staff Mentor who runs more formal workshops of varying kinds, particularly connected to career development and the professions.

Through our Graduate Teaching Assistantship Scheme, doctoral students can apply to teach in the department (usually in their second year of study) and are trained and supported as they do so.

2024 NBA playoffs bracket, schedule, scores, games today: Mavericks looking to sweep Wolves in West finals

The celtics blanked the pacers in the eastern conference finals and will compete for the larry o'brien trophy.

The conference finals are underway in the 2024 NBA playoffs, as the Dallas Mavericks are one win away from sweeping the Minnesota Timberwolves and advancing to the NBA Finals. Game 4 of the Western Conference finals will be at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Tuesday. If the Mavericks secure a 4-0 series sweep, they will advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.

The Boston Celtics became the league's first team to advance to the NBA Finals with a sweep against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. The Celtics punched their ticket to the Finals with a dramatic 105-102 win and now await the winner of the Mavericks-Timberwolves series. For his efforts during the Eastern Conference finals, Jaylen Brown was named Larry Bird MVP. It will be Boston's second NBA Finals trip in three years.

Regardless of which of the three remaining teams wins the 2024 title, the NBA will have its sixth different champion in six years -- something that has not happened since 1975-1980 .

The postseason field started with 20 teams, and now we're down to three. The Warriors , Kings , Hawks and Bulls were ousted in the Play-In Tournament before the Pelicans , Suns , Clippers , Lakers, Heat , 76ers , Bucks and Magic were eliminated in the first round. The Cavs, Thunder , Knicks and Nuggets were sent home in the second round.

Here's a look at the upcoming schedule, as well as all the playoff scores. All games airing on ABC, ESPN and NBA TV are streaming on fubo (try for free).

Monday's playoff result:

Game 4: Celtics 105, Pacers 102 -- Boston sweeps 4-0
