So very sorry to hear this news. Simon was a regular contributor to our Subjective Experience of Remembering workshops, and was always so warm and supportive and full of interesting things to say. I'm very sorry to think that our paths won't cross again. Sincere condolences to all who knew him.

Absolutely heartbroken to learn that Professor Simon James has passed away after a short illness. Simon was a stalwart union rep in the English Department, and a personal friend to many of us in the branch. We'll miss his humour, his passion, and his dedication to making things better for people.
