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.

MCR, Linacre <strong>College</strong> and Wolfson Film Society for these events. Their format and location<br />

varied, so as to encourage different sorts of conversation. Their diverse range was intended<br />

to make participants aware of the question of ‘gender’ and to ask of their own fields of<br />

research, ‘Where are the women?’<br />

MUSIC<br />

This academic year has seen a number of concerts and musical activities at Wolfson. Under<br />

its outgoing conductor and former Wolfson student Callum Salisbury, the Choir delivered<br />

end-of-term concerts which were well received. The Music Society offered a platform and<br />

organised recitals in the Auditorium by JongSun Woo, En Yuan Khong, David Earl, Felix<br />

Tennie and Amy Thakurdas. A special type of recital was played by Magdalene Ho, which as<br />

a ‘Concert for Ukraine’ helped raise funds for Save the Children.<br />

The Fournier Trio’s residency at Wolfson has come to an end after ten years with a<br />

beautiful concert this spring by the original Trio, Chiao-ying Chang (piano), Pei-Jee Ng (cello)<br />

and Sulki Yu replaced by Soojin Han (violin). But the Society is excited to announce a new<br />

residency with the Asaka Quartet which starts in Michaelmas 20<strong>23</strong>.<br />
