Warden’s Letter
(Photo:
Greg Smolonski)
By the time you read this the College
will have celebrated its 60th
anniversary. We are still very young
indeed by Oxford standards but as
I look back I am struck by how
much we have accomplished in
such a short time and how much my
predecessors as Warden achieved.
Our Founder Antonin Besse and
our first Warden, Sir William
Deakin, envisaged a College which
was to “to be a centre of advanced
study and research in the fields
of modern international history,
philosophy, economics and politics
and to provide an international
centre within the University where
graduate students from all over the
world can live and work together in
close contact with senior members
of the University who are specialists
in their fields”. I like to think that
they would be pleased to see what
has grown from that seed.
St Antony’s is widely recognized in
Oxford as the international college
both because of its makeup and for
what it does. Our students come
from almost 70 countries and our
alumni are in as many again. We
have over 40 fellows and 7 regional
centres whose work covers many
issues and most parts of the world.
When the College was founded
in 1950, the Cold War was the
dominating fact in international
relations and the early priorities
of the College reflected that. Its
fellows specialized in such areas as
the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe
and Communist China. When Sir
Raymond Carr became Warden
in 1968 he widened the College’s
net to bring in the study of Spain
and Latin America. His successors,
Lord (Ralf) Dahrendorf and Sir
Marrack Goulding, presided over
the College as the Cold War came
to its abrupt end and the hopes of
a new and peaceful world rapidly
faded in the 1990s. Today, as it has
always done, St Antony’s continues
to remain engaged with the world.
We continue to study countries
and regions but we also look
increasingly at such international
issues as development, education,
migration, resources, or religion.
There has always been one striking
gap in our coverage of the world—
North America—but I am very
pleased to inform you that we are
starting to do something about
that. Thanks to the generosity of
a Canadian donor, we are going to
be setting up a research fellowship
for the study of North America
as a region—and that includes
everything from the Arctic to
the Isthmus of Panama and the
Caribbean as well. Initially the new
research fellow will run a series of
seminars and encourage research
in issues which cross boundaries
such as trade, climate change, or
security.
I do not want to spoil what should
be a festive mood but we have
to acknowledge that the College,
like the whole education sector
in the United Kingdom, will face
challenges in the next few years.
The new coalition government
is going to make severe cuts in
expenditure, by some estimates
as high as 25-30% over the next
few years. Universities are bracing
themselves for cuts in the funds
available both for teaching and
research. What we don’t know
yet is how much the government
is going to let us raise our fees to
compensate.
As a relatively poor College we
don’t have much in the way of a
cushion. On the other hand, we
have, thanks to the foresight of
our Bursar and the Governing
Body, maintained the value of our
endowment over the past 10 years
and kept our costs under control.
Our budget has balanced every
year for the past 5 years and even
shown a small surplus. In addition
we have continued to find donors,
some alumni but others too who
like what we do, to support our
work. Our annual fund is becoming
increasingly important in funding
student and fellows’ activities,
from conferences to travel for
research. Some 7% of our alumni
have contributed to the College in
the last 5 years. As a percentage
that doesn’t match the Oxford
average of 14% or begin to reach
the dizzying heights of Yale and
Princeton 60% of whose alumni
are contributors. I like to think of
it rather as a promising start.
Elsewhere in the Newsletter you will
read about some of the activities
which have taken place here in the
past year. One day conferences,
workshops, seminars, lectures—as
Warden my only complaint is that
I cannot get to even a fraction of
them. And our Centres are already
planning their programmes for
the next academic year. We will
be welcoming new Fellows to our
Governing Body, new students,
and visiting researchers. We will
be breaking ground for our new
Middle East Building and, with
any luck, starting the preparations
for our Gateway Buildings. To all
our alumni—come back and take a
look for yourselves at how we are
doing.

Ralf Dahrendorf Memorial Lecture
On Friday 30 April, the first Ralf
Dahrendorf Memorial Lecture
was delivered by Lord (Adair)
Turner, chair of the Financial
Services Authority . His subject was
“Wellbeing and Inequality in Post-
Industrial Society”.
Lord Turner
He gave a penetrating analysis of
the problems that have emerged
in advanced capitalist societies,
questioning the fetishisation of
economic growth and examining
the damaging effects of high levels
of inequality, as well as those of
instability in the financial system.
Lord Skidelsky
Responses to the lecture were
given by Lord (Robert) Skidelsky,
the biographer of John Maynard
Keynes, and Professor Paul Collier,
author of The Bottom Billion and
Fellow of St Antony’s. Issues
included the question of whether, as
is now fashionable in some quarters,
happiness should be considered a
more appropriate measure of the
success of an economic and social
model than economic growth,
whether globalisation necessarily
leads to an increase in inequality, and
the impact of immigration.
This was the first in a series of annual
lectures to commemorate the life and
work of the College’s third Warden,
to be held on the Friday nearest his
birthday. It was organised in the
context of our newly-established
Dahrendorf Programme for the
Study of Freedom, dedicated to a
subject central to Ralf Dahrendorf ’s
life work. The programme has
three major elements: the annual
Dahrendorf Lecture and Colloquium,
a research agenda (which this year
focuses particularly on the subject
of free speech), and a number of
Dahrendorf Scholars, selected in a
competitive process from among
the College’s students. As well as
working with the Programme, each
of the scholars pursues a piece of
independent research. This year’s
scholars are Dominic Burbidge
(“Doing God in Britain”), Andreas
Knab (“Jihadists and free speech on
the internet”), Christopher Kutarna
(“Democracy and governance reform
in China”) and Xu Xibai (“Liberalism
in China”).
Professor Paul Collier
The inaugural Dahrendorf Lecture
and Colloquium was attended by
distinguished former friends and
colleagues of Ralf Dahrendorf, as well
as by members of the Dahrendorf
family. It was generously supported
by the Zeit Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd
Bucerius, represented at the event by
Professor Michael Göring. The work
of the Dahrendorf Programme as a
whole is also funded by the Aurea
Foundation of Canada and the Fritt
Ord Foundation of Norway.
A full video recording of the
Dahrendorf Lecture and discussion
among the panellists, as well as a
text of the lecture, can be viewed

Programme for the Study of
Freedom at http://www.sant.ox.ac.

St Antony’s Looks at the World
Saturday May 8th 2010 saw the College’s
second and now annual St Antony’s
Looks at The World event. A lecture
theatre packed with St Antony’s Fellows,
students and honoured guests were
deeply engaged in a day of insight and
discussion with Timothy Garton Ash,
Tariq Ramadan, Thomas Friedman,
Sir Adam Roberts, Jenny Corbett
and Vernon Bogdanor – each one an
Antonian. It may appear that we were
lucky that the event took place in the
shadow of a hung parliament in the UK
and an acute political and economic crisis
in the European Union, but perhaps that
simply reflects just how intensely relevant
discourse is in our College – it was, as
the Warden announced, “St Antony’s
showing off ”.
The first session was led by Governing
Body Fellows Professor Tariq Ramadan
and Professor Jenny Corbett, with
Sir Adam Roberts (President of the
British Academy) on “Britain and The
World of 2010”. Jenny Corbett offered
a perspective on East Asia with Tariq
Ramadan concentrating on Muslims
in the World and Sir Adam Roberts
covering the International System.
Professors Jenny Corbett, Tariq Ramadan and Sir Adam Roberts
In a day that elsewhere concentrated
on Europe, America and then the UK
it was a session with real international
depth – the speakers could barely get to
tea and coffee afterwards, as they were
inundated with continuing questions
from a fascinated audience.
Timothy Garton Ash spoke, in the second
session, on “Europe: from VE Day to
irrelevance?” He started in an optimistic
tone reflecting that where 60m people
had died from state-sponsored violence
in the first half of the twentieth century,
fewer than 1m had suffered that fate
in the second half. Full liberation only
came, he reminded us all, for those in
the East 45 years after the end of WWII.
This gradual increase of liberation and
union in Europe led him through his talk
to the troubled economic circumstances
in which the EU now finds itself.
When pressed by the audience to give
a prediction, he expressed his fear that
the Greek crisis was likely to create a
major divide in the euro with a northern
European euro perhaps emerging to
satisfy France and Germany.
Professor Vernon Bogdanor
Tom Friedman, Pulitzer Prize Winning
author and St Antony’s Honorary Fellow,
spoke after lunch on “Obama’s World”.
For the first half he answered questions
from two students, Henning Tamm and
Sophia Mann of STAIR (St Antony’s
International Review) covering a wide
range of themes, including US policies
concerning China, the Middle East, and
climate change.

Paul Bergne Memorial Lecture
As a Senior Associate Member of St Antony’s from 1995 and, from 2003, founding director of The Oxford Society for the Caspian
and Central Asia (TOSCCA), Paul Bergne made an immense contribution to Central Asian studies in Britain. Over his last few years
Paul worked tirelessly to organise a range of seminars, lecture series and colloquia relating to the history and culture of Central Asia.
In collaboration with the FCO he also arranged three major conferences - “workshops”, as he modestly called them - devoted to the
contemporary political landscapes of Turkmenistan, Kazahkstan and Kyrgyzstan; the first of these remains the only such academic
gathering of its kind to have taken place anywhere in Europe. Friends, students and professional analysts of Central Asia are widely
indebted to Paul’s energies, his talents and his enthusiasms.
A family friend of the Bergnes for many years, Rory Stewart, OBE, MP
spoke on “War, states and intervention”. Mr Stewart is a politician, diplomat,
broadcaster, academic and writer who came to prominence after publishing
his celebrated book, The Places in Between, which chronicled his extraordinary
6,000 mile walk from Turkey to Bangladesh which included a memorable six
week trek through post-Taliban Afghanistan – it was named one of the top-
10 books of the year by the New York Times Book Review. In 2003, he was
appointed as the Coalition Provisional Authority deputy governor of two
provinces in Southern Iraq, a period described in his second book, The Prince
of the Marshes.
Mr Stewart spoke with great passion of his experiences and his thoughts on the
recent and current situation in Afghanistan thrilled a full capacity audience.
Rory Stewart, OBE, MP
St Antony’s Looks at the World continued ....
It was an engrossing session but our esteemed alumnus
had some sobering analysis for the assembled. On
the Middle East he conjectured that a nuclear Iran
would create a “permanent Cuban Missile Crisis with
no hotline” and on climate change he was equally
doleful in his predictions of inertia in the international
community.
Vernon Bogdanor, Oxford University’s Professor
of Government, was due to speak last. Those of us
engrossed in the General Election and its aftermath
had witnessed his perpetual presence on BBC TV the
previous few days and indeed that morning. He had
counselled that he might not be able to make it and
as we neared the end of Tom Friedman’s talk, there
was little expectation that the country’s busiest political
commentator would complete the day. Ever the
professional, he did however arrive looking refreshed
and full of energy. He gave us the assembled a set of
fascinating statistics and some much needed analysis
on the General Election. He was equivocal about the
prospects of a workable government emerging from the
result and with great clarity he helped us all understand
why.

Symposium in honour of
Raymond Carr
Julio Crespo MacLennan, Carles Casajuana (Spanish Ambassador), Sir Raymond Carr and Margaret MacMillan (Photo: Rob Judges)
The symposium on Spain in the
twentieth century that took place
on 6th May was organised with
several aims. First, to discuss the
historiography of 20th century Spain
from the perspective of the 21st
century, and explain why some of the
country´s major events have attracted
so much international attention.
Secondly, to honour former warden
of St Antony´s College, Sir Raymond
Carr, who made such an important
contribution to the knowledge of
modern Spain. Finally, to celebrate
the thirtieth anniversary of the
Ortega y Gasset University Institute,
one of the most important academic
centres in Spain. The institution was
originally conceived at St Antony´s
by José Varela Ortega and other old
Antonians and at present it aims at
strengthening links with Oxford by
encouraging Iberian Studies at St
Antony’s.
The symposium constituted a
very special event as some of the
most distinguished experts on
contemporary Spain came to St
Antony´s to discuss the topic. In the
first session chaired by Sir Raymond
Carr, the evolution of the external
image of Spain was analysed. The
very popular topic of the Spanish
Civil War was chaired by Tom
Buchanan and included some of the
major authorities who have written
about it, such as Antony Beevor.
Former St Antony´s Fellow Charles
Powell discussed the achievements
of the Spanish transition to
democracy with the sociologist
Emilio Lamo de Espinosa. Other
sessions were devoted to discuss
regional nationalism, the economy
and modernisation and the country´s
role in Europe and the world. The
symposium´s proceedings will be
published by Palgrave.
The most relaxing and memorable
moment in this intensive two-day
programme was the dinner offered
in Sir Raymond Carr´s honour. It
was hosted by the College Warden
Margaret MacMillan and attended
by all the symposium´s participants
as well as the Spanish Ambassador
in London Mr Carles Casajuana,
Santander Bank´s representative Mr
Luis Juste and Oxford academics
who work on Spanish history and
literature, such as Sir John Elliott and
Professor Edwin Williamson. They
all enjoyed this very emotive event
and were particularly pleased to see
that having just turned ninety-one Sir
Raymond is in very good shape and
retains his characteristic lucidity and
sense of humour intact. Sir Raymond,
who was in very high spirits, was
deeply moved by this homage.

On 1st of May, SEESOX hosted the
Foreign Minister of the Republic of
Turkey, Ahmet Davutoglu, a very
eminent professor and politician
to deliver his speech on “Turkish
vision of regional and global order”.
Davutoglu presented the main tenets
of Turkey’s foreign policy and his
country’s vision for the region and the
world. He pointed out that Turkey is
aiming at a “zero problem” policy with
neighbours and that he as minister is
pursuing a pro-active engagement with
all the different regions surrounding
Turkey. He stressed his country’s will
to initiate a high-level political dialogue
with countries such as Syria, Russia
and Greece in an effort to overcome
earlier animosities, his motivation to
be proactive with conflicts even before
they happen and to act as a mediator in
post-conflict countries like Bosnia, and
his country’s determination to establish
economic relations with most of its
neighbors. Davutoglu also stressed
that there is a need for a new inclusive
cultural order, where different cultures
will co-exist peacefully and that Turkey
is a country best suited for this role.
Davutoglu’s talk was the keynote lecture
of a three-day conference organized by
SEESOX on “Turkey’s foreign policy
in a changing world”, a conference
which included around 45 speakers
from Turkey and abroad to debate and
present papers on Turkey’s foreign
policy philosophy and practice.
On 10th May, SEESOX organized
a panel debate on a very topical and
widely debated subject “The economic
crisis in Greece and its implications for
Southern Europe and the Eurozone”.
The speakers included the Vice-
President of the Greek government,
Theodore Pangalos and a Portuguese
ex-politician, current Director at the
EBRD, Joao Cravigno. Both speakers
gave a firsthand account of the problems
and challenges that Southern European
countries, and in particular Greece
and Portugal, are facing as a result of
the current economic crisis. Pangalos
focused on the weaknesses of the
Greek political and economic system,
and the difficulties of the current
government to change decades of bad
management and political clientelism.
Cravigno spoke of Portugal’s economic
problems, including the lack of
competitiveness, low rate of savings in
the public finances and high spending.
Both speakers expressed their trust and
hope that Europe would display its
solidarity with the weaker economies
and stressed the need for domestic
tough measures to address the crisis.

GCR President’s Report
Although warned about the mad rush
of Trinity Term at Oxford University, I
didn’t expect the air around College to be
literally buzzing with talk of theses and
exam revision. Nonetheless, Antonians
I meet in Hilda Besse or on the green
still wave, smile and commiserate, often
accompanied by an invitation to dinner or
tea in the CCR. It reminds me that we’re a
close community, and as President of the
GCR this year I’m proud to be a part of an
incredible network of St Antony’s students
that will only grow over the years to come.
Perhaps people in my position tend to
look too uncritically into the past when
assessing successes and failures of
student government. Though there were
undoubtedly slip-ups along the way, the
last two terms have been very positive
for the GCR. I don’t have space to thank
each member of our 23-person committee
individually, but I’ll mention a few highlights.
First up, our VP Academic Teodora has
been busy liaising with Jane Chanaa at
Careers Service to schedule Drop-in
Advising sessions, as well as organising two
Exam Preparation sessions to help ease
students’ anxiety about one of Oxford’s
most terrifying experiences.
Marina has undoubtedly been one of the
most active VP Welfares in GCR History,
supported by a dedicated Welfare Team.
Her Welfare Teas have been very well
attended, providing students with a relaxing
study break atmosphere. She has also
organized welfare training, and as of next
year six St Antony’s students will join the
University’s Peer Support Training in order
to expand our welfare network in College.
St Antony’s is obviously proud to be known
as one of the most social Colleges at
Oxford, and this atmosphere has been well
fostered by the social team, led by VP for
Social Events Vidhya. With BOP themes
ranging from Revolutionary to the 80s,
our students have been well entertained in
compensation for the hard work they do
in the library, Gulbenkian and computer
lab (often leaving in the wee hours of
the morning). Vedica has added to the
agenda with several successful formal and
exchange dinners, http://www.stantonysball.com/
complete with exciting
entertainment.
This year’s ‘Paradise Lost’ Ball, chaired by
Rucker, featured the musical talent of St
Antony’s very own band as well as a star
appearance by British band The Cheek.
Amidst a flurry of fancy dresses, dashing
bowties and delicious cocktails, Antonians
were given a night to remember.
This year’s Environmental Officer Chris
has been wonderfully enthused about
taking on the complacency in all of us,
in order to decrease the College’s energy
usage and costs. Sonia Andolz has literally
transformed the Attic into a usable space,
discovering some unique treasures along
the way. Milos and Saagarika, two very
Publications by Current Members
familiar faces at St Antony’s, have kept
the Late Bar and Cafe running smoothly,
providing students with the fuel they need
to study and relax.
One of the biggest changes we’ve made
is to the new and improved GCR website,
which has benefitted immensely from
the technical expertise of our Webmaster
Florian. Though these skills undoubtedly
come naturally to him, they never fail to
impress and I imagine Florian is tired of
receiving wide-eyed compliments from
the technologically challenged President.
(Check out the website at:
http://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/gcr/)
Of course, students outside of the GCR
committee have been just as busy. Clubs
such as STAIR, the European Film Society,
Alex J’s Poker, Wine Tasting Society (to
name a few) have added spice to Antonian
life, and our Sports teams have been
training hard to bring glory to our red and
yellow. Blades in Rowing feel particularly
imminent!
Though it always seems inadequate, I would
like to say a big thank you to all those who
have helped the GCR with their initiatives
since the beginning of the year. And on
behalf of the students, I’d like to express
our gratitude and appreciation to the
College administration and support staff
who work to make our lives as smooth as
possible. I look forward to welcoming our
new students in Michelmas and I sincerely
hope they find their first year at St Antony’s
as satisfying as I have.

St Antony’s International Review
(STAIR)
STAIR Journal Launch (Photo: Sitara Thobani)
On 23 February, the St Antony’s
International Review (STAIR) celebrated
its fifth anniversary and the publication of
its tenth issue, “New Directions in Climate
Change Politics.” To mark the occasion, the
Review held a panel discussion at Blackwell’s
Bookshop followed by a drinks reception
at the St Antony’s College Late Bar. The
panel discussion centred on whether there
is a future for the international climate
change regime in the aftermath of the
Copenhagen summit in December 2009.
The diverse group of invited panelists
featured Tom Burke, Founding Director of
the environmental think tank E3G; Fiona
Harvey, Environmental Correspondent
for the Financial Times; Phil Bloomer,
Oxfam’s Campaigns and Policy Director;
and Hannah Ryder, Senior Economist at
the UK Department of Energy and Climate
Change. After presenting their individual
perspectives on climate change politics
and the Copenhagen summit, the panelists
engaged in a valuable exchange with the
audience on the role of nongovernmental
organizations in multilateral negotiations
on climate change and a range of other
topics.
Following the debate, the Review hosted a
reception at the College, attended by the
panelists, the Warden, and current and
past members of STAIR, including the
journal’s founding editors Dr Alexander
Betts and Dr Matthew Eagleton-Pierce.
At the reception, the journal’s outgoing
Managing Director, Henning Tamm, took
the opportunity to reflect on the cumulative
achievements of STAIR members since
the establishment of the Review in 2005, as
well as to announce a set of initiatives for
opening up the journal to new contributors
and readers. He announced that from 2011
STAIR will expand on its tradition of
publishing themed issues by also including
a new general section, open to authors
writing on various topics of contemporary
interest, in each issue. He also highlighted
the journal’s new partnership with
IngentaConnect, a market leader in online
publishing, via which individual and
institutional subscribers are now able to
access all past and future issues. This is a
major milestone for STAIR and will help to
significantly expand its readership beyond
Oxford. See http://www.ingentaconnect.
com/content/stair/stair for details.
The forthcoming issue of STAIR, to
be launched in May 2010, will focus on
sovereignty and secession, while the
themed sections for 2011 will examine the
rise of China (Feb 2011) and the response
of international financial institutions to
economic crises (May 2011). The calls for
papers for both these themed sections and
the general section are available at:

Oxford North American Reunion
University Chancellor Lord Patten with St Antony’s Eugene Rogan
Roger Goodman moderating
Despite the best attempts by Volcano
Eyjafjallajoekull, this year’s North American
Reunion in New York (April 16-18) was
well represented by Antonians and a very
successful series of events.
Saturday commenced with informal
breakfast gatherings hosted by the Heads
of Oxford’s four academic divisions and
the department of Continuing Education.
The program continued with a plenary
session, “Magna Carta @ 800”. The
session featured Dr Sarah Thomas, Bodley’s
Librarian and Richard Ovenden, Keeper of
Special Collections and Associate Director
of the Bodleian Library, who reviewed the
history of the document, the historical
context surrounding its creation, and its
lasting impact upon our world.
The next academic session included
Nicholas Kristof, New York Times Op-
Ed columnist (Magdalen College, 1981)
and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn. The panel
was moderated by Professor Margaret
MacMillan, Warden of St Antony’s. The
session, titled “Half the Sky,” argued that
the most effective way to fight global
poverty and insecurity is to educate and
empower women.
Lunch followed, including a question and
answer session with the Vice-Chancellor
led by Ms Chrystia Freeland, Global Editorat-Large
for Thomson Reuters (‘93). This
was the Vice Chancellor’s first Reunion,
and guests were able to hear about his
plans for the University’s future, and ask
their own questions.
In the afternoon was “Oxford and Public
Policy: Accomplishments and Potential.”
Despite its lack of a School of Public
Policy, Oxford has a long and rich tradition
of educating generations of leaders in
government and public life. Professor
Ngaire Woods, (University College),
Director of the Global Economic
Governance Programme, led a discussion
focusing on what Oxford has done, and
could do, in this important area. Professor
Roger Goodman (St Antony’s) introduced
the panel and Michael Elliott, Editor of
TIME International (Worcester, 1972)
joined Professor Woods on the panel.
The final discussion, “Is Democracy
Exportable” was moderated by Mark
Whitaker, Senior Vice President for NBC
News (Balliol, ’79) with the Chancellor and
Dr Eugene Rogan, (St Antony’s) speaking.
This panel considered whether or not
democracy is strictly a Western principle
and if efforts to foster its spread are likely
to succeed.
Saturday evening, we hosted a dinner
at the Cornell Club jointly with Corpus
Christi College and in fact outnumbered
the Corpuscles – a fabulous dinner with
around 40 Antonians!
We would like to say an enormous thank
you to Suzy Assaad Wahba (’91) for hosting
a lovely cocktail reception, to which around
40 Antonians and friends came.

St Antony’s Career Path Conference
Thinking about choosing a career can
be one of the most stressful times in
a student’s life, and it is often difficult
to think about where to look without
knowing what direction to head in. It was
this desire to explore before settling on
specific opportunities that gave birth to
the St Antony’s Career Path Conference,
held on Saturday May 22 in College.
A full-day event, the Conference
kicked off with a stellar panel of
three Governing Body Fellows and
one surprise guest. Warden Margaret
MacMillan, Professor Avi Shlaim and
Dr Diego Sánchez-Ancochea gave very
personal and enlightening accounts of
their career trajectories up until this
point. Alumnus Dr Paul Kennedy, added
to the programme only an hour before,
entertained students with stories of
rising from a very humble background,
advising students to write at least one
paragraph every day for practice. Despite
disputing that they had indeed “Reached
the Top” (as the programme suggested),
the panellists delighted the audience with
details that are almost always concealed
in standard biographies or conference
presentations.
Next, and somewhat closer to our
position on the career ladder, four current
Antonians spoke very eloquently about
the work experience they have gathered
prior to pursuing a graduate degree at
Oxford. Sonia Andolz-Rodriguez, Cathy
Baldwin, Christopher Kutarna and Justin
Zorn delivered engaging presentations
on a wide range of topics, including
managing a mixed-skills set, coping
with a disability, doing humanitarian
work abroad, starting a non-profit and
founding a social business.
After a delicious lunch, students were
treated to the stories and advice of four
distinguished alumni, Dr Christopher
Abel (Professor at UCL), Dr Nigel
Gould-Davies (British Foreign Office)
and Dr Joanna Gorska (Control
Risks consultancy). A common and
encouraging theme of all presentations
throughout the entire day was to always
accept unexpected opportunities along
the way, as absolutely no experience is
wasted. At various points during the day,
alumna and Careers Service superstar
Dr Jane Chanaa chimed in with concrete
and practical advice on making your
own internship opportunities as well
as writing a convincing CV and Cover
Letter. Her energy and enthusiasm never
fails to impress and motivate students.
The day concluded with simultaneous
discussion groups on working in
consulting and conducting field
research in various regions of the
world, followed by a wine reception
and further informal discussion.
As the goal of the conference was to
provide students with ideas and advice
about how to kick-start a career, the event
was a clear success. This is undoubtedly
thanks to a group of extremely dedicated
Antonians who assisted with all the
preparations, and to all the students, both
from St Antony’s and other Colleges, who
attended the panels and participated in
the discussions, and we look forward to
repeating Career Path in the years to come.

It has been another hugely successful
season for the Oxford Ice Hockey Club,
in which St Antony’s is well represented
with three players.
Chana Hoffmitz (MPhil Politics) this
year not only captained the women’s Ice
Hockey Club to Varsity glory, but scored a
crucial goal in what proved to be a closely
fought 5-4 victory over the hated tabs.
Playing to a raucous capacity crowd of
over 900 at the Oxford Ice Rink, the 90th
Men’s Blues VM was an intense affair,
with the lead changing hands five times.
Other College News
Ekaterina Hertog (née
Korobtseva), formerly DPhil
student 2003-6, now Governing
Body Fellow in the Sociology of
Japan, gave birth to Alexander
(right) at the end of 2009. He was
3,5 kilos heavy and 51 cm tall.
Steffen Hertog (’02)and Ekaterina
are doing their best learning to be
parents and find it all most exciting,
if challenging!
Not shy of drama, Oxford tied the game
at 6-6 with thirty seconds remaining,
before winning it in sudden-death
overtime. Antonian Calum Nicholson
(MPhil Migration Studies) was named
Oxford Man of the Match, turning aside
31 shots as team goaltender.
Following the VM, the men’s team
entered the playoffs as the second seed
in the league, and went on to win all
three playoff rounds against Cambridge,
London and then Newcastle in the final,
thereby successfully defending their
National Championship title from 2009.
Antonian Johannes Sjostrand (MPhil.
European Politics), the heart of the
team’s defence corps, played a crucial role
in limiting opponents’ chances for a clear
shot on goal throughout the playoffs, and
was named man of the match in the final
at the Sheffield Arena for his outstanding
work.
Calum Nicholson
Chef Mark Walker, who retired
from the College after 36 years at the
College, has asked us to pass on this
message “Thank you to everyone who
contributed to my leaving gift. I wish
all Antonians well for the future”.
Celia Kerslake and David Pratten
were both awarded Oxford Teaching
Awards for 2008-9.
