Dee, a lecturer in the Division of Communication, Media and Culture at the University of Stirling, was instrumental in founding the MLitt / MSc Genders and Sexualities programme. Dee died of bowel cancer in December 2015 and a donation was made from her family to fund these scholarships. Dee was the first in her family to go to university. She attended Lancaster University and later, mid-career, studied at Birkbeck University of London for her MA and MSc while continuing to work full time. She went on to gain a scholarship to do her PhD. Dee’s academic interests focussed broadly on gender and sexuality in the media and public sphere. She was passionate about openness and fair treatment for all.
