Last minute preps for welcoming new students

Freshers week is upon us again, so I've been making (what I hope are) the final adjustments to tomorrow's plans for welcoming incoming students on the MSc Health Psychology.





Time to stop though as experiencing brain fade.

Postgraduate open day

Back home after an interesting stint dealing with enquiries at the postgraduate open day on our Coventry campus.

We had a very busy time on the Psychology desk with a queue forming rapidly.

I talked to people interested in several different courses, including the MSc Health Psychology (for which I'm now course director), MSc Forensic Psychology ( on campus course accredited by BPS), MSc Forensic Psychology and Crime (blended learning course), and the MSc Occupational Psychology.

I even spoke to someone who has already been accepted onto a course and wanted to know how she could make a head start on her background reading. Always nice to meet someone who's keen.

Interesting feature in BBC news Magazine today, on the growth in self storage business, and the factors fuelling it.

Reminded me of a research study we discuss in one of the final year seminars in Advanced Social Psychology:

Ahuvia (2005) Beyond the Extended Self: Loved Objects and Consumers' Identity Narratives.
