HIV Policy and Maternal
Health Support Overseas

Chemistry might not be the most obvious starting point for a moral theologian, but Dr Julie Clague’s “circuitous” route to the College of Arts has given her a broad base that now sees her working with CAFOD, the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, on HIV policy and maternal health.

Curation with Attitude

The new MLitt Curatorial Practice (Contemporary Art) has attitude, according to

The Vikings Are Coming!

Working with the History Channel’s hit show Vikings has had unexpected consequences for Dr Jim Simpson, as he says: “Now I know the old French word for ‘puke’, which I didn’t before!”
