Former BBC Radio 4 Controller and General BBC News Thinker Mark Damazer has joined the Carnegie Corporation of New York as a trustee. A second new appointee is Margaret MacMillan, emeritus professor of international history at the University of Oxford. Each will serve a four-year term.
“I have worked closely with Mark over the years, both in my role as a Booker Prize judge and as vice-chancellor of the University of Oxford,” said Dame Louise Richardson, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York. “Mark’s outstanding career in both broadcasting and higher education make him an ideal fit for our foundation. Margaret, whom I have long admired and also know from my years at Oxford, is a distinguished historian whose writings on the intellectual and political currents of the 20th century have set standards for scholarly rigor, insight, and elegant prose. I am most delighted to welcome both to the Corporation’s board of trustees.”
In 2022 the Corporation dispensed largesse of some $1,500 million.
