Professor Tracy Kivell<\/a> is soon due to finish her tenure as Head of School and we are excited to announce that Dr Tatyana Hulme<\/a> (known as ‘Tanya’ to everyone at the school) will take up the mantle on August 1st.<\/p>\n

‘I am delighted that Tanya has been appointed as Head of the School of Anthropology & Conservation.’ Head of Division David Wilkinson told us ‘The School has become an international beacon for its excellent academic practice, and has attracted widespread attention for its positive impact on a diverse range of socio-economic and geographic challenges including environmental sustainability and bio-diversity. Tanya brings impressive expertise and motivation to her new role, and I am very much looking forward to supporting her. In congratulating Tanya, it would be remiss to not give a heartfelt thank you to Tracy Kivell, the outgoing Head of School, who has provided such dedicated and effective service. Thank you, Tracy!’<\/p>\n

We asked Tanya about how she feels about her appointment and her vision for the school going forward.<\/p>\n

‘I am honoured and thrilled about my recent appointment as the new head of school for the School of Anthropology and Conservation, stepping in the shoes of Tracy Kivell, who has done a remarkable job over the past 3 years during most turbulent times. The School of Anthropology and Conservation\u2019s unique multi- and inter-disciplinary nature, recognising the links between human society, human evolution and the natural environment, and its excellence in both teaching and research, are the reasons I joined more than 10 years ago and continue to be excited to be a member. In our fast changing world, the school is in a unique position to address some the most pressing issues, debates and challenges that we are facing today. The school\u2019s Climate and Environment Emergency commitment and its dedication to promoting a welcoming, inspiring, inclusive and supporting environment for both our students and staff are central to who we are and I really look forward to taking the school forth in the coming 2 years.’<\/p>\n
