Joint winners of the newly introduced media and communication award were Dr Caroline Gatrell (Management Development Division) and Professor Jeffrey Richards (History). Dr Gatrell, whose book on parenthood and career sparked extensive media coverage, won the prize for raising the profile of both LUMS and Lancaster University. She was also awarded one of the University's two prizes for research - this time for her pioneering research on the sociology of mothers, fathers and employment.
Undergraduate teaching prizes went to joint winners Professor Mary Rose and Mike Parsons (both of the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development) for an innovative and popular course on Innovation which uses team teaching and online teaching journals to deliver research-led teaching.
Paul Taylor from Accounting and Finance also won an undergraduate teaching prize. His award is based on a strong record of undergraduate teaching and his ability to engage and enthuse students with technically complex material. Paul delivers complex subjects using a variety of teaching methods which encourages deep learning.
Steve Kempster (MDD) won an award for his postgraduate teaching, in particular for his contribution to the MBA Programme. Feedback shows that his past students draw on the innovative approaches to teaching in their working lives, especially when dealing with complex management and leadership problems.
