Can a ’healthy mind’ lead to better grades?
A collaborative project between LSE’s Centre for Economic Performance and
Hertfordshire County Council’s How to Thrive initiative has been awarded
£687,000 by the Education Endowment Foundation . It will test whether the
‘Healthy Minds’ curriculum can have an impact on secondary school pupils’
academic achievement. The Healthy Minds curriculum is a collection of 14
evidence-based programmes that seek to improve pupils’ resilience, life
skills, and wellbeing; their effectiveness was identified in a recent
review of the field
carried out by Dan Hale, John Coleman and Richard Layard at CEP.
The curriculum will be delivered using one hour of curriculum time each
week and will meet the national requirement for Personal, Social, Health,
and Economic (PSHE) education. The project will run as a randomised
controlled trial in 30 secondary schools in Hertfordshire, working with
pupils from year 7 through to year 10.
As Amy Challen, of the Centre for Economic Performance, explains: “We
already know that a well-planned evidence-based PSHE course can improve the
behaviour and emotional stability of young people; the next stage of our
research will tell us whether this can also help pupils to do better
academically.”

Evidence-Based
PSHE (Personal Wellbeing) in Secondary Schools', click

How will the press cover Leveson?
The Leveson Inquiry reports today (Thursday 29 November), with Lord
Justice Leveson reading out an executive summary but taking no questions
from journalists. Media were given the chance to read the report in a locked
room two hours before the announcement. How will the press react? Will
newspapers attempt to crush the report? Will they report fairly on any
criticism of the press in the report?
The LSE Media Policy Project (MPP) are joining forces with Channel 4
News to host a live online debate at 12.15pm on Friday 30 November
to examine these questions in
the immediate aftermath of the report’s release. A link to the Google+
Hangout broadcast will go live a couple
of hours before the event.
At the event, speakers including Lara Fielden, Reuters Institute, Des Freedman, Goldsmiths, Heather Blake, Reporters without Frontiers,
and LSE’s Damian Tambini, Charlie Beckett will join Channel 4’s Krishnan
Guru-Murthy to discuss their own and the press’s reactions to the report.
LSE MPP team will also be analysing the press coverage of the Leveson
Report, editorial reactions and social media responses in the first 48 hours
following the release of the report. The finding from this analysis will be
available on Monday 3 December.

Live blogging Leveson:
Looking for objective coverage on the Leveson
Report, featuring a variety of views from across
mainstream press and other platforms? The
LSE Polis Leveson Live
Blog is already active and will be regularly updated as the coverage of
the Leveson Report unfolds.

International Law, Human Rights and the Global Economy profiled in
Global Policy journal - open access until Jan The latest issue of
Global Policy contains a section dedicated to International Law,
Human Rights and the Global Economy: Innovations and Expectations for the
21st Century.
The section brings together eight cutting-edge articles written by
international law experts and tailored to a cross-disciplinary audience of
academics, practitioners and policy-makers. The articles highlight a number
of important developments that invite us to take a fresh look at how we
think about the role of international law when it comes to the protection
and promotion of human rights, as well as to contemplate seriously what we
might expect of it in the years to come.
The special section was edited by Dr Margot Salomon, senior lecturer in
the Centre for the Study of Human Rights and Law Department. The articles
are open access (no fee) until the end of January 2013. To view them, click

LSE researchers report from this year's UK Research Staff Association
conference
Kath
Scanlon, research fellow at LSE London and chair of the Research Staff
Association, and Stavroula Tsirogianni, research fellow in the Department of
Methodology, represented LSE at the annual UK Research Staff Association (UKRSA)
conference in Edinburgh last week.
The
UKRSA is a loose-knit organisation that brings together university
researchers from across the UK, whether or not they belong to a local
research staff association. Researchers from 37 universities attended, most
from the experimental sciences, with Kath and Stavroula among a small
minority of social scientists.
Kath Scanlon writes: "Discussion centred around progress in implementing
the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers. This
document from 2008 sets out the principles that universities should
follow in managing researchers - it's worth reading if you haven't
already."
“Many issues were discussed during the day, including:
• Researchers everywhere are concerned about the job insecurity of
research staff as compared to teaching staff, and the lack of a clear career
structure – these are not just LSE issues.
• It’s been ten years since a change in the law on treatment of employees on
fixed-term contracts so legally employees cannot be treated ‘less
favourably’ than permanent staff without objective justification. Some
universities have taken positive steps to ensure continuity of employment
for research staff, including creating redeployment registers of researchers
whose projects are coming to an end.
• Little is known about where researchers go when they leave academia. UKRSA
will coordinate a data collection exercise
• Vitae has introduced an online tool for researchers to work out their
training needs. See
www.vitae.ac.uk/rdfplanner
• The International Consortium of Research Staff Associations has found that
researchers place too much emphasis on research outputs and too little on
developing their skills and competencies.

The Future
of the European Union After the Euro Crisis: political union and its
discontents
On
Monday 3 December from 6.30-8pm in the Old Theatre, Old Building
Speakers: Emma Bonino (pictured), vice-president of the Italian
Senate and board member of the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR),
Mark Leonard, co-founder and director of the ECFR, and Anthony
Teasdale, director of EU internal policies in the secretariat of the
European Parliament and senior visiting fellow at LSE.
The euro crisis has dealt a powerful blow to the EU’s political system. Many
European leaders have been ousted, more radical parties are becoming
increasingly
powerful, and further questions are being asked about the legitimacy of
the European Union. European leaders find themselves trapped between the
need for a more integrated Europe and the demands of voters: the necessity
and impossibility of "more Europe".
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a
first come, first served basis.

second interview

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with..... Dr Cameron Hepburn
I’m part-time at the Grantham
Research Institute in Tower Three,
working primarily on the economics
of climate change and the
environment. I’m also one of the
editors of the Oxford Review of
Economic Policy.
I had a bout of entrepreneurial
mania six years ago and co-founded
two companies. One of them, Climate
Bridge, now has around 50 people
worldwide with headquarters in
Shanghai. The other, Vivid
Economics, is London-based with
around a dozen people. Both are
wonderful organisations that, like
LSE, I’m proud to be involved with.
I have one son, James, aged 14
months, who is delightful, as is my wife Silvie who is a clinical
psychologist. We all love music and
Silvie and I met singing in
Portugal. I’m Australian, from
Melbourne, but I’ve now been in the
UK for 12 years. For the entire time
I’ve been here I have thought that
I’d go back to Melbourne in the next
couple of years or so… We live in
Pimlico and I cycle to LSE
(including in wet weather).
If you were marooned on a
desert island, which LSE
department/division/centre/student
society would you like to have with
you?
The team at the Grantham Research
Institute, obviously! I genuinely
enjoy the company of my Grantham
colleagues and indeed this is one of
the reasons I came to LSE when we
left Oxford for London.
In London, which season of the
year do you like best?
Spring. I’m an optimistic,
forward-looking type of person. And
I enjoy the frequent tutorials I get
on English flora on walks with my
wife.
Is there anything you cannot
do and would like to learn?
I’ve just started learning the
Alexander technique. I certainly
can’t 'do' it, but at this stage I’m
getting the impression the technique
is more about changing and
inhibiting unhealthy unconscious
actions rather than actively
'doing'.
I’d love to be a much better
musician than I am, but I suspect
that my musical abilities peaked
long ago. And despite learning
Chinese at high school, and going to
China every so often for the
business, my Chinese is still
woeful. The list could go on.
What has been the greatest
coincidence you have experienced so
far?
My French lecturer in Melbourne,
Australia, also turned out to be one
of the closest friends of my
parents-in-law who are dons at
Cambridge. When my (now) wife
realised, on her next trip to
Australia, she had a delicious
moment of 'introducing' her new
boyfriend to them.
What subject did you find most
interesting at school?
I was and still am the sort of
nerd who finds most things
interesting. This has at times led
to a lack of disciplinary focus,
with undergraduate degrees in
engineering and law, a diploma in
French and postgraduate degrees in
economics.
My magpie-like propensity for
interest in shiny new ideas
continues to be reflected in my
(possibly career-limiting)
publications in philosophy,
engineering, biology, law, economics
and public policy. However, working
on climate change and environmental
issues actually requires a range of
disciplinary tools, so I can defend
myself against the charge of being a
self-indulgent intellectual
butterfly with the response that one
of our greatest challenges actually
requires as much breadth as it does
depth.
If it were your last day on
earth, what would you have for
breakfast, lunch and dinner?
With family and friends around
me, I would eat lots of fresh fruit
and poached eggs for breakfast,
mushroom risotto for lunch, and
scallops and sea bass for dinner. If
I wasn’t with family and friends, I
honestly don’t think I’d be all that
fussed about eating on my final day:
it’s not as if I’d need the energy
for tomorrow and there would be more
important things to do. |

Sponsor Santa (AKA Dave Scott)
Dave Scott, departmental manager of the Mathematics Department, will be
running a 10K race in Greenwich Park on Sunday 9 December dressed as Santa.
He is raising money for Greenpeace and anyone wishing to sponsor him can do
so here:
http://www.justgiving.com/David-Anthony-Scott
Dave said: "I'm something of an environmental campaigner and this is a
chance for me to do a bit more for one of my favourite charities than simply
send a few emails. It’s also worth considering that your pennies may help
them upset George Osborne even more than they already do, and that can
surely only be a good thing.
"It is only 10K, but I will have the obvious impediment of running
