Welcome to the Dean of Humanities

We are delighted to announce that a new Dean has been appointed within the School of Humanities.  Professor David Finkelstein will join us on 1 February 2012.

Professor Finkelstein is a distinguished scholar who is currently Research Professor of Media and Print Culture at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.  He was educated at Columbia (NY), Oxford and Edinburgh Universities.  Professor Finkelstein has written and edited many important books in his field and has an impressive list of chapters and articles in refereed journals and a host of other outputs to his name.  A recognised leader within his various positions, he has a first-class track record in terms of external grant getting, outreach and impact.  Prior to his time at QMU, David has worked in the National Library of Scotland and at Edinburgh and Napier Universities.

We are pleased that we have managed to appoint an academic of such high standing, both nationally and internationally, to this important post and look forward to his arrival here at Dundee early in the New Year.
