Tessa Gillian Howard (BA Geography, University College, 2017-22) - awarded an MBE last month in the King's New Year Honours List
One of our recently graduated BA students - Tessa Gillian Howard (BA Geography, University College, 2017-22) - was awarded an MBE in the King's New Year Honours List.
Congratulations to Tessa Gillian Howard (BA Geography, University College, 2017-22) who was awarded an MBE last month in the King's New Year Honours List for "services to Inclusive Sportswear for Women and Girls". Tess's dissertation research on the impacts of gendered sports clothing was published in the journal Sport, Education, and Society and featured in The Guardian.
The article Tess published is available to read here, and was covered by The Guardian in an article that discusses the key findings that "70% of women saw girls drop out of sport when they were at school due to clothing and related body image concerns, with many left feeling “sexualised” by what they were forced to wear."

Well done Tessa!
