Educated at Cambridge and in Rome, Jamie Hawkey is Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey, a Bye Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, and a Chaplain to HM The Queen. He is also Chair of the Westminster Abbey Institute. His doctoral research was in apostolicity and ecclesiology, and much of his current work is in ecclesiology and ecumenical theology.

Before coming to Westminster, he was Dean of Clare College, Cambridge between 2015-19, where he taught at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level for the Cambridge Divinity Faculty and Cambridge Theological Federation in systematic theology, Church History, and the history and theology of Anglicanism. At King's he has lectured for courses in Christianity and the Arts, and for the AKC programme, and contributed to the RIST seminar series. He is currently engaged in PhD supervision for the Universities of Cambridge and Birmingham, and is always happy to hear from potential research students.
