Nora,
RHUL is the abbreviation for Royal Holloway College, which is part of the
University of London. Katie Willis is a Senior Lecturer there. I don't know
her email address off the top of my head, but you should be able to find it
from the university's website at http://www.rhul.ac.uk/
Regards,
Alie.
