Matthew Innes is a British academic and university administrator who is Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Professor of History at Birkbeck, University of London.[1]
Innes grew up in West Yorkshire and by "sheer brute luck" earned a place to read History at the University of Cambridge. He earned a double first in his BA in 1991 and went on to complete a PhD in 1996, supervised by Rosamond McKitterick.[2]
Innes' first university appointment was to a Junior Research Fellowship at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in 1994. After subsequent spells at the University of Birmingham and the University of York, he joined Birkbeck, University of London as Lecturer in History in 1999. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2002, Reader in 2004, and finally Professor in 2006.[2]
Innes previously served as Head of the School of Historical Studies and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Birkbeck.[3] In 2008 he was appointed Pro-Vice-Master with responsibility for strategy, and served on the college's board of governors as an academic representative between 2005 and 2009. He was appointed Vice Master in June 2013.[4] His title has since been changed to Deputy Vice-Chancellor with responsibility for academic and corporate affairs.[5]
Innes' research interests are broadly located in the history of western Europe from the end of the Roman Empire to the eleventh century, with particular specialisms in economic, social and cultural history.[2]
Innes is married to Jayne.[8]
