The girl who lived

Like Harry Potter under the stairs, I was ‘the one who lived’. A rainbow baby (a baby born after loss), wrapped in nappies and layers of meaning and expectation. Unlike Harry, I didn’t get a letter from Hogwarts. I got a Netflix password made from my dead brother’s birthday. There were four of them. Four boys who did not make it. My parents carried that grief like a second skin. Loss became part of the family’s familiar, brutal, ritualised rhyth…Harry Potter · London Read Article

King Charles opens new wing at Centre for Islamic Studies

His Majesty King Charles III visited the University of Oxford last week to open a new wing and education programme at the Centre for Islamic Studies, both of which have been named in his honour as recognition of his long-standing patronage. The King’s visit marked the 40th anniversary of the centre, with His Majesty reflecting on its impressive growth from “a modest hut” to an “internationally renowned institution”. During a short speech His Maj…King Charles · Oxford Read Article

The Encaenia is PR without the public (or anyone else)

Before I arrived at this university, a family friend gave me a book of photos of the Oxford of old. One picture, titled ‘The Encaenia procession outside Brasenose College, 1908’, intrigued me: what was this mysteriously named ceremony which passed my future college each year? Wikipedia furnished me with the basics (as for so many underwhelming tutorial essays in the years to come). Encaenia, from the Greek for ‘festival of renewal’, is the Unive…Oxford, England · Oxford Read Article

This is how we combat the crusade against universities

Elite college students can’t read. The university wage premium has significantly declined. The young are unable to fulfil the requirements of an intensive academic degree, and even if they can, the job market doesn’t want them to. So they shouldn’t bother. So goes the story. These arguments are constantly made, splashing across the pages of nationals and even this very newspaper. Spending three years studying a degree – especially a humanities …College Students · Oxford Read Article

Jacob Collier is on scintillating form at Love Supreme

Despite being a seven-time Grammy Award winner, it was only at the 2025 Love Supreme Festival in Glynde that Jacob Collier had his first major festival headline show. Wearing his beloved crocs and vibrant, trademark garments, he burst onto the stage after a day of quintessential festival wind and rain, an example of “reassuringly English weather” which required wearing two pairs of trousers, as the maestro himself wryly remarked. The arrival of …Grammy Awards · England Read Article

Trashing rules save face, not students

Trashing is banned. But what does the banning achieve except pushing students further from the centre to more perilous waters? Recently, Brasenose students were threatened with £150 fines from the University for trashing on the grounds of littering. The Oxford University ‘SMART’ guidance states that “Littering as a result of ‘trashing’ is illegal and will incur a £150 fine”. Fining students is a deterrent. But attempting to stamp out trashing wi…Oxford, England · Oxford Read Article
