Justine Brian

Justine is National Coordinator of Debating Matters, the world’s best schools debating competition. She is an avid student of history and classics - anything from Time Team to The Iliad - and has recently completed a degree in classical studies at Birkbeck College. She loves good food, but hates food snobbery, and in her youth learned to cook at Westminster College. She is an occasional writer on food issues, and her greatest media claim to fame was being on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour on the issue of ‘frugal food’ – which made her Mum extremely proud.
