Rosie Houldsworth has been ORG's Honorary Archivist and Historian since September 2007, but has been associated with ORG since its foundation in 1982. She has played a leading role in developing and maintaining ORG's strong network of nuclear decision-makers and international experts. Trained as a linguist and in the humanities, she is particularly interested in the human relationship aspect of political change, and has been involved in developing and supporting ORG's work to facilitate face-to-face dialogue between policy-makers and their critics. She graduated with an Honours degree in French and German from London University, and later did a post-graduate degree at Oxford University's Department of Educational Studies. She taught French and German for several years in schools in England, Australia and Switzerland, before joining ORG at its inception in September 1982. Her interest in nuclear issues stems from her experience of working for a uranium prospecting company in Northern Australia in the mid-1970s. A tribute to her contributions over 25 years at ORG can be found here.
