Term is about to kick off @WolfsonCollege @UniofOxford. Join us for Fintan O’Toole on Trump and the aesthetics of democracy; Russian political emigres on Putin’s theft of culture; Financial Times editor and journalist Gillian Tett; and much much more. Enjoy the next 10 weeks.

The ultimate keep cup.

Lots going on ⁦@WolfsonCollege⁩: join us on Thursdays for Scottish dancing (22nd Jan), debate on international accountability when the rule of law is broken (29 Jan), and a tour I’ll be conducting around our new art collection.

Testing the river water @WolfsonCollege as part of the Thames 21 response to the illegal rubbish dumping at Kidlington; so we have the evidence if toxic material leaches into the river Cherwell, as we fear will happen.

A great week in prospect ⁦@WolfsonCollege⁩: the state of the state on Monday, a tour of the new art collection on Thursday, then fireworks 🎆 🎇 on the harbour on Friday. Do join in!

Five years ago today Marcus Banks, a member of ⁦@WolfsonCollege⁩, died suddenly and tragically. He will be long remembered. We planted a tree to remember him, and yesterday it was glowing brightly in the evening sun.

Welcome, and welcome back to Wolfson. Free fireworks at the end of this month, London alumni on 2 December, lectures, art, boats, and the warmest of communities as the nights come in.

Punt racing @WolfsonCollege this afternoon. There was something in the Pimm’s.

Every summer ⁦@WolfsonCollege⁩ welcomes an eminent researcher from sub Saharan Africa. Sarah Mlambo and our own Nicole Votruba will talk this Thursday at 6.00pm about their collaboration on women’s mental health in low income settings. All very welcome!

The end of term approaches @WolfsonCollege in Oxford: exams, discussions on solidarity, women’s mental health in low income settings, and a big party on the Harbour Lawn for all at College on Friday 4th July!

A great day for ⁦@WolfsonCollege⁩ as our men’s first team go Head of the river for the first time ever (ehem, the women got there three years ago). The boat is named Karl Davis, after our ex Head Steward, who was there to enjoy it all. Credit to our St Cross partners.
