Winner of the SAGE Bursary at ECER 2011 announced
The SAGE Bursary at this year’s European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Berlin, was awarded to Dr. Ekaterina Kozina, who recently graduated from University of Dublin.

“SAGE always looks for opportunities to support new and emerging academic researchers and facilitate networking in their chosen academic area” said Karen Phillips, Editorial Director, SAGE. “We are proud to have played a part in allowing Dr Kozina to attend this important conference and present her paper and we wish her every success in her academic career.”
