THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE RECTOR OF ST ANDREWS

An excerpt from an April 8, 2021 interview hosted by the Lafayette Club with activist, psychotherapist, and University of St Andrews Rector Dr Leyla Hussein OBE. In this clip, Dr Hussein comments on her historic role as the first black female rector of the University of St Andrews. Founded in 1413 AD, the University of St Andrews is Scotland’s first university, and the third-oldest university in the English-speaking world.

Dr Leyla Hussein OBE is a psychotherapist, specialising in supporting survivors of sexual abuse. She is an international lecturer on female genital mutilation (FGM) and founded The Dahlia Project, the UK’s first specialist therapeutic service for FGM survivors. She currently works as the Global Advocacy Director and Deputy Team Leader for the Africa-led Movement to End FGM. In 2020, she was elected as Rector of the University of St Andrews for a three-year term, making history as the first black woman to hold the position.

The Lafayette Club, the largest speech society at the University of St Andrews, aims to connect young people with leaders from around the world who have some idea what the hell is going on (and may even have some thoughts on what to do about it).
