Welcome I am delighted to introduce the latest issue of the University of London Newsletter for members of the former Convocation. In this edition, we catch up with UoL alumnus, donor and USA Alumni Group leader Jesse Cantrill, who talks about his experience studying with the University via distance learning and shares what Convocation meant to him. We also report on the success of a recent telephone campaign and hear what motivated alumnus Alan Prince to make a gift. We are incredibly grateful for the support that alumni like Jesse and Alan provide to the University. Whether by making donations or volunteering their time, the support of our alumni community makes a significant impact on the University’s mission to pursue academic excellence and transform people’s lives through education. You can read more about recent initiatives which have benefitted from philanthropic support, including students who have received scholarships through the Convocation Trust, on pages 8–10. In this issue, we also bring you the latest news and developments from the University, including recent events, many of which were recorded and are available for you to watch online. We look forward to keeping you informed of future virtual and in-person events when these are able to take place. If you would like to receive invitations, please email alumni@london.ac.uk or provide your email address via our online form: www.alumni.london.ac.uk/convocation/keep-in-touch It has been wonderful to continue to reconnect with those alumni who were members of the former Convocation and to hear where your lives and careers have taken you. Although the University of London Convocation no longer exists, we are delighted to have the opportunity to maintain the relationship with our alumni. There are a number of ways for you to stay involved with the University and I encourage you to keep in touch, share your news and make the most of the benefits and services available to you.

University news Refugee Law Clinic declared officially open The University of London’s intercollegiate Refugee Law Clinic, which offers pro bono legal representation to asylum seekers making fresh claims, was officially opened at a virtual ribbon cutting ceremony by Vice–Chancellor Professor Wendy Thomson CBE in late May. The opening and subsequent panel discussion, ‘The New Plan for Immigration: What now for asylum seekers?’, was hosted by the chair of the Clinic’s Governing Board, Professor David Cantor, and featured panellists Louise Hooper (Garden Court Chambers), Professor Elspeth Guild (Queen Mary University of London), and Kamena Dorling (Helen Bamber Foundation). You can watch the launch event on the University’s website: bit.ly/Refugee-LawClinic-Launch The Refugee Law Clinic was developed with support from 10 of the University’s Member Institutions: Birkbeck, University of London; City, University of London; Goldsmiths, University of London; King’s College London;
London Business School; London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE); Queen Mary University of London; Royal Holloway, University of London; SOAS University of London; and University College London (UCL). The Clinic’s main legal focus will be on advising and preparing fresh claims for asylum, an area identified as underserviced in the current legal landscape, and aims to complement the work of law firms and other service providers in London. Two commercial law firms, Macfarlanes LLP and Clifford Chance LLP, have partnered with the University and will offer their lawyers an opportunity to undertake pro bono work with the Clinic. The University is sincerely grateful to Macfarlanes LLP, Clifford Chance LLP, the Migration Foundation and the Worshipful Company of Drapers, as well as a charitable foundation which made an anonymous gift, for their generous support of this important initiative.

Senate House Library holds annual Fellowship Lecture In May 2021, Dr Richard Ashby delivered the culminating lecture of his Visiting Research Fellowship at Senate House Library. Hosted by the Friends of Senate House Library, this online lecture explored Dr Ashby’s research into the collection of the ground-breaking 20th century theatre director, Harley Granville-Barker, who revolutionised the presentation of Shakespeare. Dr Ashby talked about Granville-Barker’s thoughts and ideas, as revealed in the handwritten annotations made in his copies of Shakespeare’s plays, and the discoveries that could lead to future research. You can watch the lecture online at: bit.ly/Fellowship-Lecture-2021
Harley Granville-Barker
Senate House Library awarded the Visiting Research Fellowship 2020 to Dr Ashby for his research on actor, director, playwright and manager, Harley Granville-Barker. Dr Ashby started his research in October 2020 and, throughout his time at the University, made use of the Library’s rich resources relating to theatre and literature. The Visiting Research Fellowship was funded in joint partnership with the Friends of Senate House Library, offering postdoctoral researchers up to £10,000 and access to the Library’s world–class collections for three months. For more information about the Friends of Senate House Library, including how to become a member for free, please visit: london.ac.uk/senate-house-library/friends
New seminar series focuses on Knowledge Diplomacy Knowledge Diplomacy (KD) is highly relevant in both academic and policy circles, addressing the major issues of our time, relating to the sharing and openness of knowledge between nations and multilateral agencies with both theoretical and practical dimensions. Bringing together speakers from various universities, a new seminar series aims to create a space to look back at some of the challenges, as well as exchange ideas on the broad topic that is Knowledge Diplomacy. The series is co-organised by the University of London Institute in Paris, SOAS and the Centre for Distance Education at the University of London, along with the support of consultancy firm International Cultural Relations. The need to share knowledge globally, at speed and with trust, and to develop common-interest-building strategies
through Science/Knowledge Diplomacy has never been greater as we work through the pandemic and at the same time face the climate crisis. The first part of this series took place in June and explored the challenges that COVID-19 and climate change have exposed in the information economy and ecology. The second part of this series, taking place in autumn 2021, will look at the increasing importance of international collaboration and transfer of knowledge, as well as defining the future of universities as key sites for knowledge production.

IHR launches National Centenary Events The Institute of Historical Research (IHR), part of the University’s School of Advanced Study, is launching a programme of events in celebration of its 100th anniversary year. From Dover to Glasgow, from film screenings and walking tours to art workshops and steel bands, the IHR National Centenary Events will celebrate history in its many forms, right across the UK. Organised by partners across the country, the events bring together universities, museums, archives, artists, musicians and volunteers to engage local and national communities with the discipline and practice of history. Events will run across the IHR Centenary year, from July 2021 until May 2022.
The Centenary celebrations were launched on 8 July with a day-long online global birthday event, marking 100 years exactly since the IHR first opened. You can watch recordings from the event online via the IHR website: history.ac.uk/whats/ihr-events-archive Named ‘Our Century’, the Centenary will see the Institute promote the value and power of historical thinking, celebrate diverse histories from our previous century, and look ahead to history’s future in the coming century. To find out more, visit history.ac.uk/our-century and for forthcoming events, please see: history.ac.uk/our-century/national-centenary-events
New centre created to explore the rise of ‘emotional politics’
The importance of feelings for politics is at the heart of an exciting new London universities joint venture. A new interdisciplinary ‘Centre for the Politics of Feelings’ will be established in September 2021 at the University of London in a partnership between its School of Advanced Study and Royal Holloway, University of London, with the generous support of the NOMIS Foundation. The centre will be led by Manos Tsakiris, professor of psychology at Royal Holloway, and aims to address, from a multidisciplinary perspective, how emotions and their underlying neurophysiological mechanisms shape our political beliefs and behaviour, as well as how politics shape and exploit our emotions. Research fellows across life sciences, social sciences and the humanities will form the first generation of scholars to work at the centre. Beyond its core team based in London, it will also forge collaborations with other academic and nonacademic partners and will be supported by an international advisory board of leading scientists and scholars.
While the presence of emotions in politics has long been assumed, the centre intends to bring a new and unique interdisciplinary perspective, creating the intellectual space where different disciplines can work together to understand the intricate relation between emotions and politics in the 21st century of increasing polarisation, fake news, social media, precarious health and rising populism. Professor Jo Fox, Dean of the School of Advanced Study and the University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Public Engagement), said: “Understanding the deep connections between emotion and politics is especially important in our increasingly unstable and febrile political atmosphere. We’re thrilled that the centre will be based in the School of Advanced Study and that we are part of this significant initiative.” To learn more about the Centre, please visit: www.politics-of-feelings.com

Convocation Trust funding of scoping project leads to further funding and study into the Windrush scandal A team of researchers led by the University of London’s School of Advanced Study (SAS) has been funded to examine how UK immigration policy changed from what was officially an ‘open door’ to a regime which led to the Windrush Scandal.
In an important strategic partnership between SAS, the Black Cultural Archives (BCA) in Brixton, and Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL), the new project seeks, for the first time, to explore this important history from a fully transnational perspective.
The three-year Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) project will focus on the history of changes to immigration policy.
Its key objective is to develop a unique digital research resource of extended interviews on the national and diplomatic activism around the Windrush scandal, supported by digitised government documents from the British and Caribbean archives.
SAS academic and lead researcher, Dr Juanita Cox, explained, “A six-month scoping project on the Windrush generation and their relationship to the British State (1948–2018) funded by the Convocation Trust pointed to a longer history behind the hostile environment of detention, deportation and denial of citizenship. It highlighted too, a broader interplay between community activism and Caribbean diplomacy.” “The AHRC award provides us with a unique opportunity to study these strands of political, diplomatic, local and administrative history and to develop a unique digital research resource, which preserves the voices of the Windrush Generation.”
It will produce 60 oral history interviews which will be available electronically, and a searchable database of existing oral history resources on the ‘Windrush generation’. The materials produced by the project will explore the links between the apparently distinct spheres of international diplomacy and community activism. It will examine how the work of Caribbean diplomats supported the efforts of the victims of the Windrush scandal and their supporters in the UK. A series of articles for the British Library’s ‘Windrush Stories’ website will enable the team to demonstrate the relevance of our project materials to a range of researchers, activists and policymakers.

Down memory lane Celebrating 150 years of Senate House Library The year 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of Senate House Library’s founding collections. An online gallery of 150 unique and treasured items and a timeline charting the growth of the Library launched on 18 June 2021 – exactly 150 years to the day when the first substantial collections of over 8,000 books were given to the Library. The items on display capture leading campaigners, revolutionary events and radical artists, alongside well-known literary masterpieces to reflect the unique strength of the Library’s collections and present a range of diverse perspectives that have influenced UK culture over the last 150 years.
Chapters in the SHL story The SHL150 timeline highlights key milestones in the history of the Library from when the founding collections were received in 1871 up until present day. It charts the late 19th and early 20th century transformations, including the move to the purpose-built Senate House in 1937, after a century of being housed in temporary premises, as well as its Second World War history, when it became the headquarters for the Ministry of Information. It also marks when unique collections entered the Library, such as the Sterling Library collection of first editions and the more recent Terry Pratchett archive, showing how Senate House Library has grown to became one of the UK’s largest academic libraries for the arts, humanities and social sciences, containing over two million books, 50 special collections and 1,800 archival collections.

Philanthropic impact Over recent months, the University of London has been fortunate to have received donations from a number of alumni, friends and organisations, enabling some important initiatives to come to fruition. These alumni include those who were members of the former Convocation, or who have given through the Convocation Trust, and we extend a sincere thank you to all for your continued support. These donations have played a vital role in supporting the University’s strategic mission: allowing more students access to our unique education; stimulating innovative intellectual exchange and research in the humanities; and developing our organisation to anticipate the university of the future.
Warburg Renaissance to benefit from £3million donation The Warburg Institute, part of the University of London since 1944 and a founding member of the School of Advanced Study, is set to benefit from a £3m gift by a German foundation. This gift, the largest ever donation to the University of London, will secure the future of the Warburg Institute and help it to grow its programmes and its outreach activities.
foundation, on a visit to London in summer 2019. This was the last trip Hermann-Hinrich made before he died in 2020, and the £2m gift was pledged in tribute to Hermann-Hinrich, whose support and enthusiasm for the project was evident during the visit. The Institute and the University are sincerely grateful to the Hermann Reemtsma Stiftung for its unprecedented generosity.
The Institute is planning a major capital development, known as the ‘Warburg Renaissance’, to transform both the Bloomsbury building and the services it offers. The project has been boosted by a generous donation of £2m from the Hermann Reemtsma Stiftung, a Hamburg-based foundation, which is a significant milestone towards the Institute’s fundraising target. The foundation had previously made a lead donation of £1m to the project in 2018.
The Warburg Renaissance will create new spaces and programmes, allowing the Institute to open its doors to new audiences. In addition, it will host artists, curators, writers and translators-in-residence; serve as a laboratory for experimental exhibitions; provide a haven for exiled, itinerant and visiting scholars; and connect with leaders in digital technology to share collections and explore Aby Warburg’s pioneering work on images.
The Warburg Institute was honoured to host Mr HermannHinrich Reemtsma, the foundation’s founder, members of the Reemtsma family and representatives from the

History of arbitration project receives generous support A research project to investigate the history of arbitration in the 19th century will go ahead at the University, thanks to the support of the international arbitral community.
Alumni support recent telephone campaign Regular opportunities to speak with alumni and friends of the University by phone are a key part of our fundraising efforts. These telephone calls allow alumni and friends to hear more about our activities and future plans, as well as raise vital funds in support of the University’s strategic needs. In March and April 2021, the University of London collaborated with CoAltus, a professional fundraising organisation engaged by the University, to call UoL graduates and friends living in the UK. These phone calls gave alumni the chance to learn more about what is happening at the University, hear about the benefits and services available to them, and have the opportunity to make a donation in support of the University, should they wish to. The campaign also gave our callers, all of whom were University of London current students or recent graduates, a valuable opportunity to speak with our alumni and find out where their degree has taken them. We would like to say a huge thank you to the 1,200 alumni and friends who took the time to speak with one of our callers, many of whom were members of the former Convocation. We are delighted to report that the campaign also raised over £20,000 in philanthropic gifts. One donor, Alan Prince, made a generous gift towards scholarships, to enable a student to complete their studies without financial worries. An alumnus of the University, Alan was inspired to donate after attributing his degree to helping him in his way through life. We extend a sincere thank you to Alan and to all those who kindly made a donation in support of the University. If you are happy to be contacted by phone by University students and graduates in future, please ensure that we have your correct contact details by emailing alumni@london.ac.uk or completing our online form: www.alumni.london.ac.uk/ convocation/keep-in-touch
Access to Justice: Arbitration and Mediation in 19th Century England will follow on from Professor Derek Roebuck’s 20-year landmark study into the history of arbitration which, since 2013, has been hosted at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (IALS), part of the University’s School of Advanced Study. A prolific writer of arbitration history, Derek was a Senior Associate Research Fellow at IALS. His research was staunchly supported by Johnny Veeder QC, an influential figure in the field of arbitration. Sadly, both Johnny and Derek passed away in 2020. IALS has had an ambition to complete the final volume of this important historical study in memory of both Johnny and Derek. The University has almost reached its target of £170,000 in donations, ensuring that this monumental series will be completed. We would like to sincerely thank all those in the international arbitral community who have so generously supported this fundraising effort. Beyond the academic impact, this initiative will be well-placed to inform Government policy, and to provide robust historical foundations to debates around arbitral practice. To commemorate Johnny’s and Derek’s contribution to IALS and to the wider scholarship, the Institute and the University of London are very pleased to be naming the main event space in IALS in their honour. The VeederRoebuck Conference Room will also house a plaque to acknowledge and thank the most generous donors who have supported the project.

The impact of scholarships As the University of London embarks on its next five-year strategy, we recommit to our mission to promote access to education and ensure those who have the skill, aptitude and desire to study for a worldclass degree are able to do so, regardless of their personal or financial circumstances. These values have always been at the very heart of the University, as we were founded to provide access to education for those who were excluded from higher education at that time. Scholarships and bursaries provide vital support for University of London students who otherwise would not be able to afford the cost of their studies, enabling them to complete their degrees and fulfil their potential. Over the years, the Convocation Trust has provided funding for several scholarships, thanks to generous support given by members of the former Convocation. We spoke to Nathan Deschamps, a recent scholarship recipient from Canada who is studying with the University’s School of Advanced Study, who shared what this support means to him.
“
It is with the deepest gratitude that I wish to express my sincerest thanks for gracing me with the Convocation Trust Scholarship. As I indicated in my applications, I do not come from a family of means. Consequently, my time studying has depended on receiving support. The cost of living in London is so high that had I not have received the scholarship, I cannot imagine how I would have afforded the rent here. The vote of confidence I felt on the day that I opened the email informing me that I had received the award was, and remains, a source of motivation. Over this most difficult year, I have spent time reflecting on how fortunate I am to be here as well as the ways in which my time here has been intellectually and personally transformative. Had I not have received your support, I would not have taken the financial risk to come here, and had I not have come here, I would not have gone through with my PhD applications. On that note, in February I received two fully funded offers of admission to Stanford and to Princeton for their Early Modern European History programmes. I chose Stanford. I therefore wish to express, once more, my deepest thanks for helping me get over here to London. I would not have nearly as much to look forward to if I had not spent the last year immersed in such a wonderful, supportive scholarly community.

Five minutes with… Jesse Cantrill, donor and member of the former Convocation, talks about his links with the University and the support he provides as an alumnus. Give us some background about yourself and what you did prior to studying with the University of London. I studied Classics at the University of Pennsylvania and, after five years of military service in the 1960s, I returned to Philadelphia to do a Master of Business Administration degree at Penn’s Wharton School. I have been a management consultant for over 40 years specialising in the design of employee compensation programs. Some of my work was in Europe and the Middle East, so I often stopped in London during my travels; one day I visited Senate House and picked up an application. You studied an MSc in Organisational Behaviour via the University’s distance learning programme with academic direction from Birkbeck College. How was your study experience? I found the program quite demanding, different from the Wharton School in many ways but at the same or higher level. I visited the course director, Professor David Guest, several times and made a point to sit the exams in London. I once told Professor Guest about my Wharton experience and he told me that he had known Eric Trist, a renowned organisational consultant, who had been my major advisor at Wharton. So I quickly felt connected to the University of London. What impact has your University of London degree had on you, both professionally and personally? In the States, the Wharton MBA is the more important credential in my work. But the London degree in Organisational Behaviour has given me a better understanding of the impact of pay on individual employees and has been a wonderful help in my work with international development organisations. You were a member of the University of London Convocation from 2000 until its closure in 2003. What did being part of Convocation mean to you? I understood that Convocation was the alumni society of the University so I didn’t hesitate to join. And I happened to be in London in 2003 when the infamous meeting was held to tell members that Convocation was being disbanded. I failed at that meeting to stand up and say that I thought we were losing a great opportunity to stay in touch with alumni and to encourage them to give back to the school. So thank you to the University’s Development Office for a second chance to comment on this matter. I must say now that I am confused about Convocation. I understood then that the organisation was closed, but now I am learning about a Convocation Project to get in touch with former members and I am being interviewed for a Convocation Newsletter. And when I look up London Convocation on the internet, I find that there is a Convocation Trust that has awarded more that one million pounds since 2012. So I don’t understand what is the current role of Convocation and how it relates to the University’s Development Office, which was recently established to maintain a relationship with alumni and to promote alumni giving.

I understood that Convocation was the alumni society of the University so I didn’t hesitate to join. Why do you feel it is important for alumni to stay connected to the University? One of my teachers at Penn told us that if a school could help us to love learning, it would have done everything for us that it could do. I didn’t understand that at the time and I didn’t appreciate it for another 30 years. But now I get it. A major university provides the credential needed for access into the professional world. And done well, we actually learn how to think about complex matters. We make friends for a lifetime. And we learn to enjoy learning. As I turn 80 this year, I realise how important that last one is. You are acting as the representative to the British Schools and Universities Foundation which enables US-based donors to obtain a tax deduction on their gifts to the University of London. You also volunteer as a USA Alumni Group leader. Why do you do this? I have come to appreciate the University of London as an institution. I appreciate its history and its purpose. Had my father not been brought to the States as an infant, I would have grown up in Coventry, come to London for a job, and studied at Birkbeck College. So it’s a might have been. Editor’s Note: The University of London Convocation The University of London Convocation was the association of graduates established by Charter in 1858. Recent years have seen the University truly become a federation of independent self-governing higher education institutions. This changed the focus of students and graduates so that the number of graduates joining Convocation was very small. Against the background of change and development within the wider University, the University Council recommended that Convocation be closed in 2003, a view endorsed by the Convocation Board. There are no plans to reform Convocation. The University is committed to supporting its alumni and, in 2015, set up a new central Development Office to better respond to the needs of graduates of the central academic bodies, as well as members of the former Convocation. The purpose of the Development Office is very much aligned with that of Convocation when it existed.
What would you say to someone who is interested in providing philanthropic support to the University, either by giving in their lifetime or by bequeathing a gift in their will? Any undergraduate admitted to Penn from anywhere in the world receives sufficient financial aid to attend. This is true throughout the Ivy League where there are no athletic scholarships nor merit awards, but full-cost financial aid is provided without restriction. I benefitted from that policy in the 1960’s and it changed my life forever. But it takes a lot of money to offer this. With alumni support, we could make bursaries available to everyone who is admitted and needs assistance. We could return to our roots as the school for capable students who were not welcomed elsewhere. With our constituent colleges and institutes and the outreach of our distance and flexible learning programmes, the University of London could be recognised as the world’s leading university. As part of its new five-year strategy, the University will build on its mission of pioneering unique forms of education and research that transform lives and society. How does this mission resonate with you? Benjamin Franklin lived in London for many years in a failed effort to keep the peace between the North American Colonies and the British government. He is quoted as saying: “the noblest question in the world is: What good may I do in it?” The University of London may do some good in it. And we alumni have the opportunity to share in that effort through our annual gifts. The Development Office has been delighted to have the opportunity to reconnect with members of the former Convocation through an ongoing, large-scale ‘Convocation Project’. The Convocation Trust Although Convocation closed in 2003, the funds held by Convocation were invested by the Convocation Trust. The Trust continues to play an active role across the University of London federation. Over the years, the Trust has awarded grants to a variety of projects to support the University and its Member Institutions. These grants would not be possible without the generosity of those who have so kindly donated to the Convocation Trust over the years.
