FROM THE EDITOR

Gardeners Camelia and Nick, with Halloween produce

In a year like no other, the College has decided to produce and distribute this edition of the Journal in a digital format designed for reading on screen. Following Dr Cleaver’s retirement as Editor last year, this edition is the product of many hands, all tucked away in our respective home offices, at our kitchen tables, in our garden sheds...

Our literary ‘cloth’ may have been cut to fit our current capacities, but we have also expanded the traditional ‘academic year’ review to run from October 2019 to the end of Michaelmas Term 2020. This year, it felt strange to pause the narrative on the 30th September, and the contrasts between the Michaelmas of 2019 and the term we have just concluded are thought-provoking.

I do hope you enjoy reading the updates contained within, and excuse any limitations you may find in their presentation. When the printing and postage of a hard-copy version becomes more manageable, it will be possible to order one through the Communications Office. I will be in touch with details about how to do this in due course.

With best wishes for 2021, Dr Nicola Jones Director of Communications & Engagement 3
