"Julian 'Joe' Elliott", Academy of Social Sciences/FAcSS is an academic and educational psychologist. He is the current Principal (academia)/Principal of Collingwood College, Durham/Collingwood College and Professor of Education at Durham University. He has caused controversy by describing dyslexia as a 'useless term' and a 'meaningless label'.
