Here, he chats to us about designing a brand-new degree and his involvement in the Disagreeing Well series at UCL. What is your role and what does it involve? . I am Vice-Dean (External Engagement) for the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and Director of the BA Creative Arts and Humanities in the UCL Arts and Sciences Department. My Vice-Dean role involves making the case for the importance of what our Faculty does in a world that doesn't always value the arts and humanities as much as it should. My motto for this role is a line from Star Trek : 'survival isn't sufficient'. It's the arts and humanities that help us really understand life and make it worth living! Meanwhile, the BA CAH is a new degree programme that combines critique and different forms of creative practice: performance, writing and moving image. We'll be starting with our first cohort of students this Autumn at UCL East.
