Sarah Brown claims interests ranging from science fiction to Greek tragedy, which makes her ideal for her new role as chair of Anglia Ruskin University's department of English, communication, film and media studies.

The department, graded 5 in the 2001 research assessment exercise, has also been been ranked third for English and tenth for media studies in one newspaper league table. "What attracted me was the degree to which different approaches to English can be blended," said Professor Brown, who has taught at a number of universities. "I look forward to working in such a dynamic department."
