Wolfson Research Institute

External Honorary Professors and Fellows are appointed on the basis of their seniority and collaboration with the institute.

The institute's management board is composed of academic members of the university who represent their departments, ECR and College reps and is chaired by the Executive Director.

According to academics from the institute quoted in the national press, this would "undermine the principle of 'equal opportunity of access for equal need'".

[7] In 2014, research by the institute in collaboration with the universities of Liverpool, West of Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh found that rising inequality, unemployment, welfare cuts and housing policies under the government of Margaret Thatcher caused 30,000 premature deaths and led to lasting regional disparities in health and life expectancy.

Individual research interests within the Fellowship are highly variable as a reflection of the overall diversity of academic work within the university.

The newsletter contains news of Fellows' achievements, grant calls and successes and any events organised and hosted by the Institute including public seminars and conferences.
