School Directors
The School of Social Sciences and Philosophy appoints Directors to lead specific areas of activity, from research and teaching to equality, diversity and inclusion.
Our Directors take responsibility for guiding strategy and overseeing delivery in their respective areas, working closely with the Head of School, Heads of Department and professional staff. Together, they ensure that the School's priorities are advanced across teaching, research, and the wider student and staff experience.
