Women of impact

To mark International Women’s Day, we are highlighting the achievements of just some of our female academics and researchers – the University of Brighton’s Women of Impact.

Across our university, women are achieving great things in research, teaching and community engagement, working on the complex challenges facing society, inspiring the next generation and making an impact in communities. Their diverse stories transcend disciplines and career stages, illustrating the wealth of extraordinary talent that we are proud to have at the University of Brighton.
