Rachel makes Routledge Education Class of 2011

Posted on 13 October 2011, submitted by Claire Bicknell

Senior Lecturer in Psychology, School of Social Sciences, Dr Rachel Maunder has made the prestigious Routledge Class of 2011 – this means her work is included as one of the most downloaded articles published in Educational Research in 2010, and is now free for anyone to access and read for the next 12 months. “I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the notification that my paper ‘Pupil and staff perceptions of bullying in secondary schools: comparing behavioural definitions and their perceived seriousness’ was the most downloaded article in Educational Research this year – particularly as I hadn’t consciously done promotion work to publicise the article after it was published,” Rachel commented, “This suggests that there is wide interest in the work and that people are hearing about it. I hope this will lead to the research having an impact on the field and especially to anti-bullying practice in schools.” View online The Class of 2011.
