My two Leicester PhD students, Rahma Abdullah (co-supervised with Anders Hansen) and Faith Kibere (co-supervised with Peter Lunt) recently passed their PhD vivas with minor amendments. Rahma’s thesis focused on the construction of environmental issues in the Omani news media and Faith’s addressed the use of ICTs for development in the Kibera slum in Kenya.

Many congratulations to Drs Abdullah and Kibere for their success- it has been a pleasure to have worked with you both on your projects.
