The research, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, will be carried out by our School of Education at Durham University. It will help to understand who's receiving support and where inequalities may exist.

🎉 Congratulations to Dr Yan Chen 陈嫣博士, who has successfully passed her PhD viva!

Dr Chen's research — "Understanding Students' Resilience: Teachers' Moral Judgements and Institutional Limits in Chinese Rural County-Seat Boarding High Schools" — offers important insights into the resilience of students in rural Chinese boarding schools. It's a proud moment for the School of Education at Durham University.

A huge congratulations also goes to the supervisory team: first supervisor Associate Professor Dr Cora Lingling Xu, second supervisor Assistant Professor Dr Antonia Manresa, and Professor Prue Holmes, who served as second supervisor before her retirement.

Thanks to external examiner Dr Siqi Zhang 张思齐博士, internal examiner Dr Anna Llewellyn, and viva chair Professor Mike Fleming for their vital contributions to this milestone.

Well done, Dr Chen! 🌟
