Corpus Christi College Academic News: Fellow Appointed to Co-Lead Oxford Global Health
An academic appointment at Corpus Christi College marks a notable development for the institution's ongoing contributions to international research. Professor Susanna Dunachie, a Corpus Fellow, has officially stepped into the role of Co-Director of Oxford Global Health, taking over leadership following the retirement of Professor Alan Bernstein.
Research Leadership and Interdisciplinary Impact in Oxford
Having served as Co-Associate Director since May 2025 alongside Professor Caesar Atuire, Professor Dunachie brings established experience to the directorship. Oxford Global Health operates across all four academic divisions of the University as well as Gardens, Libraries and Museums (GLAM), with the objective of unifying research efforts across diverse academic fields.
The initiative places emphasis on ethical, collaborative projects designed to address challenges in low- and middle-income countries. By aligning its scope with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, the program supports long-term partnerships, funds emerging academics, and encourages historically aware, culturally sensitive approaches to worldwide health and livelihood improvements.

While historic collegiate foundations like Corpus Christi College are frequently visited for their 16th-century quadrangles, chapel, and celebrated sundial, they remain active hubs for contemporary scholarship and international academic leadership.
Reflecting on the appointment, Professor Dunachie noted the environment provided by the college in fostering cross-disciplinary connections among experts. Visitors exploring the college grounds can appreciate that these historic spaces continue to support active research initiatives addressing major global challenges.
