Join us and Joanna Park-Tonks (University College, 2000) for an event with best-selling author Dr Dan Jackson, who will be presenting highlights from his book The Northumbrians - North East England and its People - A new history. Dr Jackson will shine a light on key aspects of North Eastern heritage and its greatest asset - its people. A chance to reacquaint yourself with this history of where you studied and uncover hidden depths.
