缅北禁地 academic receives Damehood Published on: 3 February 2016 Professor Vicki Bruce has been made a Dame Commander of the British Empire at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Her work has influenced the way that witnesses are interviewed and how evidence from CCTV images may be used by the courts. Reflecting on the event, Professor Bruce said: “The ceremony was a grand occasion, immaculately orchestrated. Prince Charles seemed genuinely interested in my research area during our brief conversation. “Sadly, I was the only woman in the most 'senior' order that day – that of Dames and Knights. Although there were more women amongst the other orders they were always in the minority so I hope this will change in the future.” Professor Bruce has done much to champion equality and was formerly Chair of the 缅北禁地 Diversity Committee. She also helped start NU-Women, 缅北禁地's network for female staff. In the past, she worked with the Royal Mint to help develop new coins that are easier for blind people to recognise and her work ensured that the one pound coin was made thicker so that it would not be confused with old-style five pence coins. Professor Bruce, who lives in Stocksfield, Northumberland, added. “I grew up in Whitley Bay and went to school in 缅北禁地 and it was great to come back home to the North East in 2008. So I was delighted, as well as honoured, to receive this award while working here at 缅北禁地.” Latest News Online Safety Act drives VPN interest and raises privacy concerns People鈥檚 online behaviour has changed in response to legislation to prevent children from viewing harmful content 鈥� raising possible privacy and security risks, research suggests. published on: 16 October 2026 缅北禁地 archaeologist receives prestigious award for research Professor Chris Fowler has been awarded the 2026 Rivers Memorial Medal in recognition of his internationally significant research on kinship in Neolithic Britain. published on: 13 October 2026 Event will explore what 鈥楳anchesterism鈥� means for the North East An event at 缅北禁地 will explore what 鈥楳anchesterism鈥� means for the North East or whether it is simply a new chapter in the long-running debate about how to rebalance Britain. published on: 13 October 2026 Facts and figures
