Angela J Wright BSc MSc(Oxon)
After a career as a government scientist – during which she pursued her passion for animal welfare – Angela Wright returned to education and obtained a Masters degree in Biology (Integrative Bioscience) from the University of Oxford, before starting a PhD at the RVC in 2006. Now, as a lecturer, she teaches animal welfare and welfare assessment to veterinary undergraduates, veterinary science students and veterinary nurses. Her research interests include the welfare of farmed animals and, as a keen biologist, she has an interest in behavioural ecology, evolution, ethics and animal behaviour.
