Dr Emma Halliwell Early Career Researcher Scholarship

About the scholarship

This scholarship is in memory of our dear friend and colleague, Emma Halliwell, whose inspirational work advanced the field of body image and passion for encouraging students inspired many to pursue a career in psychology. It will fund an outstanding early career researcher to support their attendance and presentation at Appearance Matters 10.

What the scholarship covers

The scholarship will cover complementary conference registration, conference dinner and attendance at a training workshop.

After the conference, they must also provide a 1,000-word report of the impact of attending the conference on their research within six months of attending the conference.
