Remembering Sir Bob Burgess
Sir Robert Burgess (known as Bob) was the founding Chair of UKCGE. A sociologist, he received his BA from the University of Durham in 1971 and his PhD from the University of Warwick in 1981. Following his PhD, Bob remained at Warwick as a sociology lecturer, being appointed Professor in 1987 and Senior Pro Vice-Chancellor in 1995. In 1999, Bob was appointed Vice-Chancellor of the University of Leicester until his retirement in 2014. Following his death in 2022, this lecture series was set up to celebrate Bob’s contribution to both the UK Council for Graduate Education and the postgraduate education community in general.
