Life Sciences at the University of Dundee Top University in the UK for the quality of our Biological Sciences research Research Excellence Framework 2014 Life Sciences at the University of Dundee Welcome lifesci.dundee.ac.uk lifesci.dundee.ac.uk The University of Dundee is one of the leading universities for Life Sciences research1 and one of the world’s top 250 universities.2 We’re located in Scotland’s fourth-largest city, Dundee, on the picturesque Law Hill, Dundee banks of the River Tay. Our international reputation for excellence in both teaching and research attracts top-class students and academics from all over the world – over 145 countries are represented in our University community. We’re a progressive, future-focused institution, where we aim to transform lives, locally and globally, through the creation, sharing and application of knowledge. 1 Research Excellence Framework 2014 2 Times Higher Education 2020 1 Welcome Carnelley Building Welcome lifesci.dundee.ac.uk At the School of Life Sciences we are proud of our international reputation as one of the leading research institutes in Europe. This reputation has been gained through our endeavours in three core areas: research, learning and teaching, and impact and translation. There have been huge advances in Life Sciences over the last few decades. To adapt to these changes, we believe that it is crucial for our staff and students to be able to work fluidly across disciplinary boundaries. This philosophy is reflected in our structure, with all the basic biological disciplines housed together in our main research complex. To encourage interactions between all our staff and students, we promote a collegiate culture of working together. We value the diversity in our staff and students and are home to about 700 academics and scientists from more than 50 countries - it is these people who are essential to our success.

    The magazine of the University of Dundee • December 09 www.dundee.ac.uk/pressoffice Visions of Discovery contact•dec 09 1 contents news................. 03 from the principal... Those of you who attended my presentations in late September/early October will have heard me speak of my vision for the future of the University, and of how this vision is underpinned by the three watchwords of Excellence, Focus and Impact. The University must strive for excellence in everything it does, whether teaching, research or the professionalism of its botanic gardens... 06 support staff and services. In order to achieve this, the University must focus investment and resource in those areas with the proven record or the potential to sustain excellence. By focusing on our strengths and by aspiring to be the best, the University will inevitably increase its impact, whether social, economic, scientific or intellectual. November saw the publication of two significant documents affecting higher education in the UK. The first, Higher Ambitions, published on 3rd November to the fanfare of a speech by Lord Mandelson, sets out the UK Government’s framework for sustaining the strength of higher education in an ‘increasingly demanding and competitive environment’. The second, The impact of universities on the UK economy, was commissioned by Universities UK and presents the key benefits of higher education to the UK’s economy. It strikes me that our vision resonates with aspects of both of these documents. The Universities discovery day...... 12 UK report emphasises and demonstrates conclusively the huge financial impact that the combined activities of the higher education sector have on the economy, generating over £59 billion of output and over 668,500 fte jobs in 2007-8.

We do this with world-class teaching, pioneering research and with work that has social, cultural and economic impact. We are a Scottish institution operating on a global stage. Our impact is felt from the centre of Dundee, where we are absolutely central to the city’s future plans and prosperity, to the countries of the developing world where we are helping cure devastating diseases like malaria, and giving people life-changing opportunities for education. We are home to a community of 17,000 students and over 3000 staff. Around 25 per cent of our students are from outside the UK, with the majority of them part of the School of Social Sciences. Our ambition is to become Scotland’s leading university. In many areas – from widening access to innovation – that is a claim we can already make.

  • Gender and Contemporary Horror in Film Emerald Studies in Popular Culture and Gender
    GENDER AND CONTEMPORARY HORROR IN FILM EMERALD STUDIES IN POPULAR CULTURE AND GENDER Series Editor: Samantha Holland, Leeds Beckett University, UK As we re-imagine and re-boot at an ever faster pace, this series explores the dif- ferent strands of contemporary culture and gender. Looking across cinema, tele- vision, graphic novels, fashion studies and reality TV, the series asks: what has changed for gender? And, perhaps more seriously, what has not? Have represen- tations of genders changed? How much does the concept of ‘gender’ in popular culture define and limit us? We not only consume cultural texts, but share them more than ever before; meanings and messages reach more people and perpetuate more understandings (and misunderstandings) than at any time in history. This new series interrogates whether feminism has challenged or change misogynist attitudes in popular culture. Emerald Studies in Popular Culture and Gender provides a focus for writers and researchers interested in sociological and cultural research that expands our understanding of the ontological status of gender, popular culture and related discourses, objects and practices.

One of the most gratifying pieces of news to have been published over the past two months involving the University of Dundee was the Times Higher Education Survey of Student Experience which came out in mid-February. According to the opinions of our students, we are ranked the fifth best institution in the UK and the top University in Scotland in terms of the quality of our student experience; a measure which includes an assessment of the subject matters.......13 teaching quality, the structure of provision, welfare support as well as social factors such as the Students’ Association and sports facilities. Whilst one should always be cautious about the weight one gives to opinion polls and league tables of this kind, Dundee has nevertheless performed consistently well in this type of survey over recent years. It is my view that this Dundee best student experience in Scotland underscores the value we place on making sure our students are at the heart of our institution, but more importantly shows that our students think so, too. The University has been ranked top in Scotland and fifth in the “DUSA play an important role in the student experience, providing a As we move through difficult times we should take not a little comfort from this performance; UK in the recently published Times Higher Education Student central hub on campus with excellent social activities and valuable it proves to some extent that we are getting things right: our teaching staff are engaged and Experience Survey.

  • Women and Their Money 1700–1950: Essays on Women and Finance
    Women and their Money 1700–1950 This book examines women’s financial activity from the early days of the stock market in eighteenth-century England and the South Sea Bubble to the mid twentieth century. The essays demonstrate how many women managed their own finances despite legal and social restrictions and show that women were neither helpless, incompetent and risk-averse, nor were they unduly cautious and conservative. Rather, many women learnt about money and made themselves effective and engaged managers of the funds at their disposal. The essays focus on Britain, from eighteenth-century London to the expan- sion of British financial markets of the nineteenth century, with comparative essays dealing with the United States, Italy, Sweden and Japan. Hitherto, writing about women and money has been restricted to their management of household finances or their activities as small business women. This book examines the clear evidence of women’s active engagement in financial matters, much neglected in historical literature, especially women’s management of capital. This book charts the sheer extent of women’s financial management and pro- vides for economic, social, cultural and gender historians material grounded in empirical research essential for understanding women’s place in capitalist societies.

  • Mary Lily Walker of Dundee: Social Worker and Refonner
    MARY LIL Y WALKER OF DUNDEE MARY LIL Y WALKER OF DUNDEE: SOCIAL WORKER AND REFORMER By MYRA BAILLIE, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University (c) Copyright by Myra Baillie, August 1996 MASTER OF ARTS (1996) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Mary Lily Walker of Dundee: Social Worker and Refonner AUTHOR: Myra Baillie, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor R.A. Rempel NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 181 11 ABSTRACT Mary Lily Walker (1863-1913) was Dundee's leading activist in matters of social welfare and social reform during the late Victorian and Edwardian period. As the Honourary Superintendent of the Dundee Social Union (DSU), she initiated a number of social welfare services in Dundee for working class women and children. The Grey Lodge Settlement Association, a bustling community centre in present-day Dundee, owes its origins to Lily Walker. Walker was a remarkable Scottish woman, yet until now she has not been the subject of historical study. This thesis progresses in a broad chronological fashion. Chapter one examines the failure of late nineteenth century philanthropy, and documents Walker's early years until 1889. Chapter two looks in detail at the London settlement house movement of the 1890s. Chapters three and four study Walker's role in the new philanthropy, 1900-19l3, examining her contribution to the development of Dundee's social welfare provision. It concludes by critically assessing Walker's achievements. In summary, the purpose of this thesis is threefold.
