insight4me Psychology: Attachment – Research in Action With Professor Niamh Stack From University Of Glasgow

insight4me is a series of subject specific webinars for current Year 12 & 13 students. The sessions support students’ current studies by giving an insight into particular curriculum areas whilst affording students the opportunity to talk to different universities and make informed comparisons about how, in this case, Psychology is taught.

In this insight4me Psychology webinar for schools and colleges, University of Glasgow will deliver a punchy, topic based within an overall session theme of Attachment – Research in Action.

Professor Niamh Stack, Deputy Head of School, School of Psychology, will discuss Can school be a secure base? Within this talk we will explore how contemporary attachment theory has developed beyond the immediate family and to application within the school settings. 

Through the discussion, Glasgow is encouraged to provide an insight into the teaching and learning experience of this topic at university, and compare and contrast how other subject areas across the Psychology spectrum might be treated. Students will gain an insight into how these subjects continue beyond A-levels, T-levels, IB, BTEC and equivalent qualifications.

Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event, where available.

Suitable for: Year 12 & 13 students (and equivalent) studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Psychology and related disciplines.
