Strathclyde Law School names new head

Strathclyde Law School has appointed Professor Adelyn Wilson as its new Head of School.

Professor Wilson joins Strathclyde from Aberdeen University, where she held a personal chair and was the university’s Dean for International Stakeholder Engagement. Her varied research interests span medical law, legal history, and private and public law, leading to a variety of published work. She is deputy editor of the Edinburgh Law Review, and was formerly an academic fellow of the Scottish Parliament.

Professor Wilson commented: "Strathclyde is a wonderfully collaborative and ambitious School, as witnessed by its currently being ranked as sixth Law School in the UK by the Times. Colleagues have driven real change in the community through research, teaching and outreach. It's also a particularly exciting time for the School, as we move into our 60th anniversary year. I look forward in the coming year to meeting and welcoming our alumni, friends, and community back onto campus for a sequence of celebratory events."
