We are thrilled to congratulate our client Professor Dame Sue Black on being awarded a life peerage. She is one of the world’s foremost anatomists and forensic anthropologists, whose work has been recognised internationally, particularly in the fields of war crimes investigations, mass fatality incidents and forensic casework.
Her nomination as a crossbench peer was announced in February and she was introduced to the House of Lords on May 17th.
Baroness Black of Strome is the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Engagement at Lancaster University, after thirteen years as Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology at Dundee University, and she is President of the Royal Anthropological Institute.
She has authored many specialist academic works and textbooks, and for the general reader her books All That Remains: A Life in Death (2018) and Written in Bone: Hidden Stories in What We Leave Behind (2020) have been published across the world in many languages, and to universal acclaim.
