I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

  • Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund
    Transforming lives through transport Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund Strategic Outline Business Case November 2019 TRANSFORMING CITIES FUND Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP Secretary of State for Transport House of Commons London SW1A 0AA 28 November 2019 Dear Secretary of State Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund – Bid Submission We are pleased to submit to the Department for Transport, the Leeds City Region’s submission to the Transforming Cities Fund. Reliable, affordable, sustainable transport is essential to enable people to access skills and job opportunities, particularly those who face disadvantage, to tackle the climate emergency and to raise our region’s productivity. We are shaping our skills, inclusive growth, business support and wider infrastructure programmes to contribute to these objectives. This holistic approach will ensure we have a more significant and meaningful impact on people’s lives, on the ability of our businesses and the economy to grow, and on the environment. Our Transforming Cities Fund package is part of this overall approach. Our submission will deliver a City Region where communities are better able to access a transport network that is more accessible, affordable and attractive. It will also provide people with a more realistic alternative to the car and the choice to make more journeys that are sustainable, healthier, and that ultimately enable our towns and city centres to be re-shaped with people at their heart. A 21st century transport network is key to creating economic growth around the region, building resilience into communities and helping people to access employment and education opportunities. Through this submission we will address the challenges currently experienced by our most disadvantaged communities, including being cut off from opportunity for employment and not having access to sustainable travel, both for local journeys as well as across the region.
