Following from two weeks of nominations and voting, students have come together to recognise the lecturer and student who has gone above and beyond for PIR at Royal Holloway!
Politics and International Relations Society are pleased to announce the lecturer PIR students recognised who had gone above and beyond their role, enriched student learning and inspired students- DR Michelle Bentley!

Director of the Royal Holloway Centre of International Security (RHISC).
Her research has been published in prominent journals, including Security Studies, Review of International Studies, and International Affairs.

She has also published two edited volumes on the Obama administration and continuity in US foreign policy. She is currently writing her next book on the biological weapons taboo.
Dr Bentley was awarded the 2017 POLITICS Learning and Teaching Prize for her research on higher education.
