Press review of the year 2011
There is a proverb – of dubious origin and equally dubious meaning – that says: “May you live in interesting times”.
In the media, ‘interesting’ usually equates with ‘bad news’ – and true to form, natural disaster, wars and uprisings, economic and political meltdown were all among the subjects that consistently grabbed the headlines in 2011.
And so it was that in 2011, University of Sussex academics were called on frequently by the media to provide expert analysis of turbulence of all kinds around the world.
There were, however, a few column inches to spare on other subjects, such as the University’s 50th birthday celebrations, some eye-catching research and a number of significant milestones for Sussex.
Here are some of the year’s highlights.
