Momentum: Celebrating student research: Issue 1, volume 1

Welcome to the first edition of Momentum: Celebrating Student Research, the student Research Journal, a proud showcase of the diverse and ground-breaking research being conducted by postgraduate students at Canterbury Christ Church University. Alongside the student research articles, this journal aims to highlight the student community by showcasing some of the opportunities available for students to join a club, whether that’s a sports club or a society. This journal serves as a platform to highlight the innovative ideas and scholarly endeavours of our students, celebrating their commitment to advancing knowledge across a wide range of disciplines.

In this inaugural issue, we present a collection of research articles that reflect the unique perspectives and methodologies employed by our postgraduate community. From the exploration of contemporary social problems to pioneering advancements in technology and the sciences, the work featured herein exemplifies the intellectual curiosity and passion that drive our students.

As part of Canterbury Christ Church University, we strive to create an environment that fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. This journal not only promotes the sharing of knowledge but also aims to inspire future researchers and advocates within and beyond our campus. Each article has undergone peer review by a fellow student, offering the author valuable feedback while simultaneously providing an opportunity for others in our community to enhance their real-world employability skills. This experience will serve them well as they move into their professional careers.

We invite you to delve into the rich tapestry of research presented in these pages, and we hope that this journal will become a cherished tradition that highlights the extraordinary contributions of our postgraduate students and
enriches the academic landscape of our university. Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey of discovery and scholarship.
