Laura Southerland

Having started my career in the international development sector, working for the Aga Khan Foundation and the Commonwealth Secretariat, I spent two years growing the international work and profile of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. I joined City in May 2017 via roles in the communications department of the British Medical Association and UCL’s Anthropology Department.

My current role focuses on better capturing City’s international activity, increasing the visibility of the university’s international work and creating opportunities for people to engage with and benefit from it. The other aspect of my role relates to co-ordination and communication across the WC2 university network, of which City is a founding member.
