Death of Professor Elizabeth Waters

We are sad to announce the passing in September 2015 of a Nuffield Alumna, Professor Elizabeth Waters (DPhil Sociology, 1998), who died at age 48 after a five-year battle with breast cancer.

Elizabeth was an inspiring academic in the field of child health and evidence-based public health and the Director of the Jack Brockhoff Child Health and Wellbeing Program at The University of Melbourne right up until her death. A well-known and loved member of the Nuffield community, she will be deeply missed. An obituary, written by her husband Paul Joyce, is available to read here: http://www.theage.com.au/comment/obituaries/elizabeth-waters-mother-friend-and-force-of-nature-for-child-health-20151204-glfy7c.html
