Links between The Social Research Unit and the influential Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) at the University of Illinois, are being strengthened by the temporary departure of researcher Tim Hobbs.

Tim is shortly to leave the UK for Chicago on a six-month sabbatical. During his time away writing up his doctoral thesis, he will be a visiting scientist at CASEL, extending a connection established when its President, Roger Weissberg, made the opposite journey last June.

Tim's research study concerns the role of children's cognitive appraisal of risk as a factor determining their degree of physiological stress and engagement in school life.
