MeCCSA - Media, Communications and Cultural Studies Association

Management committee

Overview

Helen Baehr

Helen Baehr is a current member of the Executive Committee. She serves as the MeCCSA representative on the Skillset Higher Education Forum and has managed to secure additional MeCCSA places on the Forum from January 2001. This is important since our increased representation comes at a crucial time when both the DCMS and DfEE are investing National Training Organisations, like Skillset, with increasing power and influence in the area of, what the government now likes to call, "vocational education." She is a Visiting Professor in the School of Arts, Design and Media at Sunderland and a Visiting Academic in the School of Communication, Cultural and Media Studies at Middlesex. She also works closely with a range of media organisations including the Film Council, British Screen Advisory Council, Royal Television Society, the Institute for Public Policy Research and is on the Board of Women in Film and Television.
