Ian Richardson B.A., M.A. joined the School in early 2005. Prior to that he has worked in a number of roles across the University and has extensive experience of the University's administrative functions. Ian is responsible for the day-to-day administration within both CUDEM and CeBE, in particular relation to the individual research projects, in addition to working within the wider School administrative team. For any queries relating to CUDEM, Ian should be the first port of call.
