Biography

Jesch received her advanced education at Durham University and University College London. As a student at Durham in 1973 she co-wrote an article for Palatinate that accused the university of failing to attract candidates from a wide variety of backgrounds, and suggested that Durham was by now seen as a 'finishing school' for the socially privileged.[2]

She was keynote speaker at the 2015 Norse in the North Conference.[3]

She is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, the Society of Antiquaries of London and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

gollark: While saturating basically all of the available upload, which would annoy everyone.
gollark: But on my internet connection it'd still take 2 hours to copy that off to the interweb.
gollark: I only have something like 60GB of vaguely important data, and 5GB I couldn't replace easily.
gollark: Currently looking at sending over a cheap RPi and external hard drive to a technical friend so I can replicate stuff offsite to them.
gollark: I don't have anywhere near enough backing up of stuff yet, unfortunately, really ought to work on that.
