WLVdialogue

Welcome to the April 2010 edition of WLVdialogue.

This month, with election fever gripping the nation, we have some differing perspectives on politics from some of our expert academics.

Other features include University sports psychologists looking at our chances of winning the World Cup and the launch of a ground-breaking new research centre set up at the University of Wolverhampton to tackle the toughest brain tumours.

If you’d like to send us your views, feedback or comments please email: wlvdialogue@wlv.ac.uk  

Our next edition will be out in at the end of July.

Best wishes
