Professor Mary Beard will be delivering the annual Syme Lecture. The talk, entitled “Images of Roman Emperors from the Ancient World to the Modern: Understandings and Misunderstandings”, will take place on Thursday 3 November at 6pm.

The Wolfson Architecture and Society Lecture Series kicks off this week with Dark Satanic Towns. The first of five lectures over this academic year, it will look closely at the question: Why are today’s buildings as they are, and why do we no longer build as did our great-grandfathers, or as those who hanker for thatch and traditional styles would have us build?

Wolfson College, together with the English Faculty at Oxford, are delighted to announce the second round of the Jon Stallworthy poetry prize in 2017.

On 27 September, Dr Sebastian Brock FBA was recognised by the British Academy for his extensive contribution to the study of Syriac language and literature.
