University of Dundee Founders Project
We are delighted to welcome Dr Cassandra Gooptar to the University of Dundee.
Cassandra takes up the post of Post-Doctoral Researcher on the University of Dundee Founders Project.
The post aims to discover more about the University of Dundee founding bequests and donations.
This will be achieved through archival and historical research into the provenance of bequests and donations to University of Dundee and affiliate institutions and their associations with slavery and empire.
Cassandra is also committed to engaging with the various multicultural Dundee communities associated to her findings.
