Anthony Ridge-Newman

I hold a University of London PhD in Politics. A year of my research was based at the University of Oxford, as a member of Hertford College. My research specialism is in political organisation, change and communication.

I have an MSc in Social Research Methods from the University of Surrey; and a first class BSc (Hons), during my studies for which I spent a year at the University of North Carolina in the United States. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and have teaching experience that spans over 30 years. At Hope, I co-lead an international Community of Practice and have been nominated for three Hope Star Awards.

I have been a practitioner in journalism, politics and commercial strategic communication.
