Professor in Sexualities and Genders:
Health and Well-being
World AIDS Day, 2021
“This (sexual health education and vision) all requires strategic leadership and commitment, for which I see this professoriate ideally suited.”
Welcome to this Vivat Academia! page, celebrating my belated professorial inauguration! I say “belated”, because I was appointed full professor in the teaching and learning pathway at the University of Greenwich, as from 1 September 2018. Just finding the right time to achieve this inaugural graduation, this ‘step up’, means my chosen date was eventually 1 December 2021.
My profound and heartfelt thanks to all of you who participated on the night; and equal, profound regret that I ran out of time to invite so many more dear friends, from around the world. Hopefully you will all have chance to see these videos and leave any comments or questions you wish below or on my Twitter / LindedIn sites.
Thanks to Professor Rosana Pacella, Director of the Institute for Lifecourse Development (@ILD_Greenwich)and her colleagues Dinaz Trudeau and Magda Tageldin for organising and hosting this event; to our Head of School, Professor Karen Cleaver (@cleaver_p), for introducing me (Video 1); to our Vice Chancellor, Professor Jane Harrington (@janeharri1966); to all who asked such meaningful questions, and to my Pro Vice Chancellor of Faculty, Professor Derek More (ProfDerekMoore), for the good words, the eulogy, at the end (Video 3).
The main lecture presentation is in video 2. In anticipation: thank you for taking time to watch these videos. Please feel free to leave any comments you wish, below or tweet me. Some comments of the actual event, which went on Twitter with the hashtag #ProfSandG, are shown here, on this separate Wakelet page.
