Students honed their communication skills, received peer and faculty feedback, and connected their research to real-world issues. The University of Gloucestershire and Religion, Philosophy and Ethics community extends heartfelt congratulations to all participants for their dedication and ingenuity. A special thanks goes to Dr. Eleanor Higgs, the event organizer, who had thought of everything, from the tea and coffee, to discussion prompt cards. Even though many of the posters were taken home by the students as a reminder of their achievements the ideas they showcased continue to resonate with those attended.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1891\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-1024x756.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-1536x1135.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/159\/sites\/402\/2025\/03\/20250306_144820-2048x1513.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018The Loft\u2019 at the University of Gloucestershire buzzed with intellectual energy this week as Level 6 (third-year) Religion, Philosophy, and Ethics (RPE) students showcased their dissertation ideas at the annual [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":543,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-backup-2025","category-blog"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/543"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5968"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5992,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5968\/revisions\/5992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.glos.ac.uk\/rpe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
