Lucy Brazier is a British writer, trying to live a quiet life in middle England. Now in her 40s, she has been writing since a very young age, which she finds annoyingly clichéd. She was inspired to try writing ‘properly’ in her teens after reading Oscar Wilde at school and his works remain a strong influence. Lucy also has a great passion for James Joyce and has written books on both Finnegans Wake and Ulysses. She would love to write her own post-modern stream-of-consciousness novel, but is far too introverted and polite.
Aside from writing, Lucy loves cricket, food (both the cooking and the eating of), tea, food, the city of Seville, naps and food again. Having written seven books, she says she is unlikely to write anymore, but probably will. Lucy is very small in real life.

So … what kind of degrees do you offer and are their any career prospects ?
Kris.
Degrees in everything from the sublime to the ridiculous and everything in between. As for career prospects – for non-academic like myself, there is plenty of work for dogsbodies with a good line in random adventures and tackling the unlikely 😉
Hello, just a dumb Yank here, but in the States a porter is one who sweeps the floor or handles your baggage at the airport. Sounds like over there the position is more akin to campus security or possibly mobile campus information personnel.
Hello there! Porters in every other circumstance are exactly as you describe, even in other ‘ordinary’ universities. But at the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, they are something else entirely. Officially, they are ‘The Keepers Of The Keys’ but the role is as wide ranging as you could imagine. And it’s nothing to do with being a Yank – most British people have no idea about College Porters either. Thanks for stopping by!
