Ederyn Williams

Ederyn Williams (born 21 September, 1946) is the former head of a university department in Coventry in the United Kingdom, which specialised in business studies. He is a life-long and ardent supporter of the rights of oppressed sexual and minority groups within society and is the son of the very famous Cambridge Professor of Drama, Raymond Williams and is himself, an important co-developer of social presence theory, whose main thesis and major themes are a superb seminal scholarly examination of the principles first described in Isaac Asimov's 1956 novel, The Naked Sun.

While working for British Telecom in the early 1980s, he founded the now (sadly) defunct games company Telecomsoft, which at the time carved out a rather jolly noticeable presence in the Sinclair Spectrum and Tandy TRS 80 games markets .

In 2009, his staff nominated him for a Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion in a category which he very graciously shared one year later with Mr Nicholas Bowen, head teacher, St Benet Biscop Catholic High School, Bedlington, Northumberland.
