Minna joins Unit as research assistant

Joining us from Luton and the University of Bedfordshire, where she specialised in educational psychology and identity development, is psychology graduate Minna Lehtonen.

Minna's dissertation research on the development of religious tolerance was presented at the 2009 British Psychological Society annual conference in Brighton and also at the 2009 conference of the International Society of Political Psychology in Dublin. It has since been published in the <em>Reinvention: A Journal for Undergraduate Research</em>.
Her work as a learning support assistant in a primary school in Luton between 2008 and 2009 and her involvement in the Mitalee Summer School project between 2005 and 2007 reflect her commitment to supporting the well-being and development of children and young people.
