Anne-Marie Kilday is a British academic. In August 2023 she became vice chancellor of the University of Northampton, succeeding Nick Petford. She is a professor of criminal history.[1]
Education and career
Kilday was a student at the University of St Andrews. She went on to study for a PhD at the University of Strathclyde, supervised by T. M. Devine, and became an academic at Oxford Brookes University. At Oxford Brookes, she was head of the History Department, dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and pro vice-chancellor for student and staff experience, before moving to the University of Northampton as vice chancellor.[2]
Administrative actions
As pro-vice chancellor at Oxford Brookes, Kilday was criticised in local media for cancelling an artistic presentation over perceived transphobia.[3]
In October 2023 under Kilday's leadership the University of Northampton proposed closing its Institute of Leather Technology.[4][5]
She has been both praised and criticised in national media in the UK for publicly engaging in political debates.[6]
