College Record 2022/23

The 2023/24 edition of the College Record, the formal record of the academic year at Wolfson College, Oxford. As well as recording the fellowship and membership of the College as it stood in 2023/24, the Record is a chance for members to look back on the previous academic year and take stock of the activities of our many research clusters and societies, to celebrate the achievements of our students, researchers and alumni, and to share news of interest with the whole Wolfson community. This year, alongside updates from members across the world, readers can find reflections on the life of Anders Celsius, Byzantine art, the legal fight for clean rivers in the UK, and Wolfson’s own mysterious Second World War bunker. The Record is edited by Dr Roger Tomlin.
