Governance

CBRL is a registered charity sponsored by the British Academy and governed by articles of association. Members nominate and elect a voluntary board of trustees, or council, who have a range of professional backgrounds and from the academic community. The board of trustees meets quarterly.

CBRL has three sub-committees: finance, governance and risk; human resources; and research. All committees meet regularly to determine CBRL policies and strategies in these areas. Trustees, staff and external advisors, in some cases, form the committees.

Finance, governance and risk – John Shakeshaft (Acting Chair), Dr Sean Hird and Tom Thomson. Staff: Dr Jane Humphris and Miranda Ludden.

Human resources – Graham Philip (Chair), Tom Thomson and Reverend Canon David Longe. Staff: Dr Jane Humphris.

Research – Dr Kamal Badreshany (Acting Chair, Durham University), Prof. Timothy Insoll (University of Exeter), Dr Bahar Baser (Durham University), Prof Louise Martin (UCL). Staff: Dr Jane Humphris. Editors: Dr Caroline Middleton and Dr Sarah Irving.
