Alistair Mutch

  • Person
  • fl 1972-
Mutch commenced on the LLB course in 1972 and graduated with a joint honours History and Jurisprudence in 1976. He notes that this was an unusual combination made possible by Dundee and it set him on a path of historical research.
After leaving Dundee he went to Manchester, where he obtained an MA in history and then completed a PhD on the history of nineteenth century rural Lancashire. On completing the PhD no lecturing jobs were available, so he worked for ten years as a management accountant with British Telecom. This led him to a career at Nottingham Business School where he became Professor in Information and Learning.
However, his background in law and history gained at Dundee continued to shape his research and he has published on Religion and National Identity: Governing Scottish Presbyterianism in the Eighteenth Century (Edinburgh, 2015) and Tiger Duff: India, Madeira and Empire in Eighteenth Century Scotland (Aberdeen, 2019).
While at Dundee Mutch was active in student politics and possibly appears on the far right of the (very blurry) rent strike picture on the cover of volume 8, issue 2.
