Professor Dauvit Broun elected a Fellow of the British Academy

Dauvit (Davie) Broun, Professor of Scottish History and Director of ArtsLab, has become one of 66 of the world's leading minds to be elected as Fellows of the British Academy. Fellows of the British Academy represent the very best of humanities and social sciences research, in the UK and globally. This year's new Fellows are experts in subjects ranging from feminist theory to the economic development of Africa; medieval history to Indian philosophy and face perception. Professor Roibeard Ó Maolalaigh, Vice Principal and Head of the College of Arts, paid tribute to Professor Broun: "This honour is richly deserved by Professor Dauvit ('Davie') Broun. The British Academy recognises the inspirational work he has carried out over many years to building up Scottish History and Scottish Studies here at the University of Glasgow. "Davie is a very modest man but the importance of his contribution cannot and should not be overstated. As a leading Scottish historian he has made world-leading transformational contributions to History and Digital Humanities.
