Vicky Passingham

Biography

I joined the University's Communications Office in 2009 after working as a journalist for more than 20 years. I am now the communications lead for the Faculty of Social Sciences. I have expertise in media queries, media relations, media training, speech writing, corporate communications, crisis communications and corporate publications. My role includes identifying and promoting, through the media and internally, stories from around the University that celebrate success in research and education. Within the Faculty of Social Sciences, I am keen to help research impact by supporting academics interested in engaging with the media, from writing press releases about their research to pitching their expertise to local, national and international media.
