Professor Richard Black, Head of School

We are very happy that Becky is coming to Sussex to launch the new School, which is an exciting new venture for the University. Sussex has been characterised by its international outlook and its interdisciplinary character since it was founded in the 1960s, and the School reflects all that is good about the University’s engaged approach to international issues.
