Transcription

Early life and education

Carl Gombrich was born in 1965, to Dorothea Amanda Friedrich and to renown British Indologist and scholar, Richard Gombrich. He is the grandson of Austrian-born art historian Ernst Gombrich.[1]

Gombrich has degrees in mathematics, physics and philosophy.[2]

Career

Opera

From 2000 to 2001, Gombrich was the Royal Opera House Scholar at the National Opera Studio, where he sang bass.[3][4][5] He has performed in various operatic roles, such as Masetto in Don Giovanni with the Garsington Opera,[6] as Gianettino in Fiesque,[7] and as Macduff in Ernest Bloch's Macbeth at the University College Opera.[8][9][10][11]

Academic & Program director at University College London

Gombrich joined University College London (UCL) in 2002 as a lecturer. The following year, he became a Teaching Fellow in Physics. He then became Principal of the University Preparatory Certificates, directing UCL's international foundation courses, which aid students coming from abroad to gain the skills to study at UK universities.[12][13]

In 2010, Gombrich was appointed Programme Director of UCL Arts and Sciences, leading the design, development and implementation of the degree, which began accepting students in 2012.[12][2] This program was one of the first of its kind in the United Kingdom to offer a liberal arts degree.[14][15] He directed the program until 2019.[4]

He was a member of the British Academy Working Group on Interdisciplinarity, led by David Soskice, which in 2016 published a report titled 'Crossing paths: interdisciplinary institutions, careers, education and applications', alongside other notable academics such as Colette Fagan, Tom McLeish, Professor Georgina Born, Julia Black, Barry C. Smith and Graeme Reid.[12][16] Gombrich was also a core member of the NVAO accreditation panel for the Liberal Arts and Sciences Colleges of the Netherlands.[12][2]

Gombrich is a regular speaker at events on interdisciplinary and liberals arts and sciences, both in the UK and abroad.[12][17][2]

Gombrich also writes academic papers on interdisciplinarity and the philosophy of education, as well as music.[4][18]

Foundation of the London Interdisciplinary School

In 2017, Gombrich founded the London Interdisciplinary School alongside Chris Persson and Ed Fidoe, where he is the Academic Lead and Head of Teaching and Learning.[12][19] This university aims to provide students with an interdisciplinary, practical education, and admitted its first undergraduate cohort in 2021.[20][21][22]
