University of Bristol
The University of Bristol has its origins in University College, Bristol, which was founded in 1876. With an initial staff of two professors and five lecturers, it was the first institution in England to offer places to women to study in higher education on the same footing as men. University College gradually expanded, incorporating the Bristol Medical School and the Merchant Venturers' Technical College, before gaining its Royal Charter. The University of Bristol officially came into existence in May 1909.
We are particularly proud of our contribution to French Studies. Among our current staff is a former President of the Society of French Studies (Prof. Susan Harrow), a former President of the Association of University Professors and Heads of French (Prof. Martin Hurcombe) and a former President of the Australian Society for French Studies (Prof. Natalie Edwards). Several of us are current or former members of the Executive Committee of the Society for French Studies and of the Editorial Board of French Studies.
