FROM THE PRINCIPAL Professor Geoffrey Ward

6 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

This time a year ago my column for the Annual Review took its lead from Samuel Beckett’s meditation on the human condition Waiting for Godot, a two-act play in which one early reviewer complained that nothing happened – twice. As I walked around a campus dominated by ongoing new builds and emerging extensions – the Dining Hall, the North Wing Auditorium, practice spaces and guest rooms – it seemed as if we were waiting for something to take final shape and declare itself. Well, something happened, for sure, but it was neither what we expected nor what we wanted.

long with the rest of collegiate Cambridge and the wider world beyond, Homerton has faced the impact of the pandemic. Our students have been particularly affected. The face-to-face supervisions which are the cornerstone of Cambridge teaching have had to be replaced by remote learning. And while their College accommodation is of a gratifyingly high standard (Homerton came first in a Daily Telegraph survey of student accommodation across Oxford and Cambridge last year), students’ rooms were intended to be a nest from which to fly to lectures and practicals before returning at day’s end, not a 24/7 pod with strict limitations on movement outside and on contact with peers within. When an outbreak occurred at the beginning of Michaelmas term, there is no doubt that we were tested. But we learned from that. Moreover, our students have shown consideration, resilience and ingenuity in finding ways to work through these difficult circumstances. And some of the changes created in emergency conditions, such as

the new reliance on computer-based learning, will undoubtedly have a permanent effect on the ways in which the University organises post-pandemic teaching in order for students to both absorb new knowledge at speed, and produce their best work. Meanwhile the reputation of the College has done nothing but rise. The number of direct applications for undergraduate places at Homerton is up by over 25% this year, as it was the year before (this in a context where applications to Cambridge University as a whole have risen by nearer 10%). Even in a context where jobs are getting harder to find, the emails I receive from recent graduates now working in the Foreign Office, for NGOs or in many other prominent positions give ample testimony that Homerton is a both a destination of choice for the talented school-leaver and a launch-pad for the leaders of tomorrow. I am very proud of the Fellowship for

The Principal cuts a cake marking the 10th anniversary of the College Charter in March 2020

helping our students to excel, and am particularly grateful to the senior team for overseeing this core activity while dealing with the ongoing difficulties of the pandemic. For example Dr Louise Joy has extended her portfolio as Vice-Principal, already full, to organise a Mental Health Awareness Week, supplemented by other measures focusing on student welfare at this difficult time. By Statute and Ordinance, it falls to the VicePrincipal to lead the search for a new Principal, and that time has now come. I will demit office at the end of September this year. (Not so much Godot now, more Endgame…) I cannot imagine a more stimulating and satisfying role in UK higher education than the one I have been privileged to occupy for the last eight years. I am confident that Homerton will go from strength to strength. The College has the critical mass, the brilliant teachers and researchers, the readiness (where it is in our

interest) to grow for strategic purposes, and, last but not least, the top-level students that are prerequisites for high and continued success, even by the world-leading standards of this ancient University. Those students become alumni who will look back with gratitude and pride at all that Homerton has made possible in their lives, and the pressures brought about by the current pandemic will not, I feel sure, be an impediment to this in the longer term. Among the most loyal attendees of our Alumni Reunion Weekend are, still, some alumnae who studied at Homerton during the Second World War. Their experience was certainly different from those of their predecessors and their successors. However, the inevitable privations did nothing to dim their enthusiasm for Homerton, but rather made the invaluable opportunities it brought all the more precious. Respice Finem n

ometimes, in biological evolutionary terms, it takes a major disruption of the status quo to trigger new adaptions in response to the new environment, resulting in a radiation of interesting new forms of life. I am hoping that, by analogy, there may ultimately be a positive outcome to the last ghastly year, in that it has helped us all to focus on our priorities, and perhaps freed us from some long held ‘evident truths’. Although Homerton is never a College for standing still, it might in the long run do us good to be nudged out of our comfort zone and think again about what is really important. I would say that giving young people from all backgrounds the chance for the transformative experience of a Cambridge education is at the centre of our mission. The diversity of our student body is something we are passionately committed to, and is a higher priority for us than our exact place on the league tables. Drawing students from a wider background means that in many cases students arrive at Homerton with less educational preparation, less cultural capital and less backup from family and community. We also note that students from every background seem to be struggling more with mental health and resilience, even before the pandemic. The generations coming of age in the next decade may be profoundly damaged by the current pandemic-induced gaps in the education system at every level, and by the economic catastrophe that will shortly become apparent. We are making great strides towards enhancing our position as a leader in drawing in students from a wide variety of social, ethnic and economic

backgrounds, and our next step is to reinforce and develop the outstanding educational and wellbeing support we provide. So, what have we learnt that we can use to do things a bit differently going forward? As well as this chance to reflect on our priorities and direction as an institution, some quite pragmatic points emerge, that may in the end change a lot of what we do and how we do it. • Online meetings can be quite efficient – luckily, as there have been a lot of them. • Online teaching and interviewing are similarly often quite effective, and may bring out the best in students who might otherwise not have participated so much – not being physically present certainly has some upsides as well as downsides. • Students hardly ever read anything we send them. • It is possible to be much more agile – changing things at a moment’s notice rather than on a ‘Cambridge timescale’ (Question: How many Cambridge academics does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer (in outraged tones): CHANGE?) • Students can adapt and make the best of things – they are sad to miss their hectic social lives but in most cases would still prefer to be getting on with their academic work even with all the restrictions. • Academically, Homerton students blossomed whilst working from home last summer, and in 2020 we had our best results ever in Arts and Social Sciences, with the emphasis moved from three-hour exams to more thoughtful and continuous pieces of work.

It has to be said that 2020 has been tough, and it doesn’t look as if 2021 is shaping up well yet, but we all have high hopes of the vaccination programme. The best part of the Senior Tutor job is talking to students, so that has been the

thing I have missed most this year. In the Michaelmas term it was possible to walk right through the Cavendish building to the Combination Room to get a cup of tea without seeing anyone in a College with 700 students living in it – quite sad and disturbing. Like everyone in the world, we are all desperate to return to normal, but perhaps to a slightly kinder, more reflective and less hectic normal when it finally comes n

BURSAR’S REPORT Deborah Griffin OBE

10 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

t was interesting for me to look back at the Bursar’s report for 2019 in writing the 2020 update. It has been quite a year which we did not foresee! While last year’s report included a picture of me “turning the first sod” of the new playing fields, we can now include a picture of the completed pitches. The pavilion is now under construction ready for September 2021. It was wonderful to hear comments from our students when they were able to use the facilities for the first time in October. “I am so glad I have another three years to enjoy these.” “Are these really for us?” “We should have the best College sports teams with these facilities.” Let’s hope we can host some student versus alumni matches in 2021. Another change from last year is the length of my hair as hairdressers and others closed during lockdown! The College has also changed significantly if only in appearance. The staff worked tirelessly to prepare the College for the

students’ return in October. Signage, Perspex screens and sanitisers abound! Although it has been a difficult term for everyone with the restrictions on activities and movement, the underlying friendliness and support and commitment to our students by our staff has shone through. I must particularly commend our porters, catering teams and the “Quarantine team” which became the “Isolation team” for their support of our students. When West House was in isolation due to the number of positive cases of Covid-19, catering were delivering up to 300 meals a day to the building. Thankfully due to everyone’s efforts, during the last five weeks of Michaelmas term we had only one positive case. Without any conference business we opened up all our rooms for students to study in a Covidsafe environment. The Griffin proved particularly popular despite the bar not being open. We also had a marquee on the Queen’s Wing lawn for the duration of term where we were able to have matriculation welcomes and some events in a well-ventilated if cold environment.

In February 2020 we commenced the construction of the new Dining Hall, servery, kitchens and buttery. Progress has been good and we are excited to see it rising into the sky. The Arts and Crafts tradition of the Ibberson building is very much in evidence in the new building in the

brick work, the faience and timber. It is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2021. North Wing was also completed in June 2020 although the 18 beautiful guest bedrooms are obviously awaiting the return of visitors, including our alumni. The new auditorium has been

welcomed, as have two large, well-ventilated music rooms. These have been much used this term. We have started planning for a much needed Porters’ Lodge and are in the midst of an architectural competition which we hope will produce a stunning and functional new entrance for the College to welcome everyone. The accounts for the financial year to 30 June 2020 were approved by the Governing Body on 4 December. Obviously the loss of a term’s residential and catering fees for the Easter term (as students did not return after Easter) and the loss of conferencing and events after March 2020, caused a large drop in income and our loss for the year was higher than budgeted.

and our investment portfolio managed by Rothschild & Co, performed well and we were able to record an overall surplus of £5.5m. While the enhanced Cambridge Bursary Scheme was not approved for the start of the academic year in October 2020, the College extended the pilot scheme to the first three years and Trinity College extended some support for two years, for which we are grateful. Overall the total paid to our students in FY20 was £491k (FY19 £461k) of which Homerton College contributed £229k (FY19 £262k). We hope that the enhanced CBS scheme will get approval for next year.

13 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

t certainly has been a strange way to spend my tenth year at Homerton, one that I’d be happy not to repeat, although it has brought with it opportunities to reflect and adapt too. January and February seem a lifetime ago, but the start of the year saw myself and my Deputy Rosie Austin presenting at the Cambridge Libraries Conference on our involvement in an ARHC project considering diversity in children’s literature rare books collections such as our own, and issues around digitisation. Unsurprisingly, our collection is not diverse, and contains a fair amount of challenging material reflecting opinions and attitudes of earlier times. The project continues and we are awaiting more analysis of our holdings from the research assistant so we can explore how we can address the issue and create a better balance of material. February also saw me trial my first sessions using Lego as a tool for study skills education. It may not seem obvious that being asked to build a duck out of Lego can be helpful in finding sources and referencing work correctly, but it can! The teaching was well received and I’m looking forward to delivering more. Then came Covid, and a rapid succession of plans for ‘amber’ and ‘red’ levels, mostly thrown out the window as we quickly shifted to a full closure. I can’t praise my team enough for being calm, efficient and supportive, and continuing to give their all to help students as they left College. One small thing we were able to do as we packed up and closed the doors was to

Running a Library from home is challenging. Praise and thanks must go to the Cambridge University Library ebooks team for responding quickly to requests for electronic copies of key texts. Once we were all set up at home, we moved to supporting students remotely via email. We continued to buy new books for the Library in anticipation of re-opening and helped students as they sat their exams and alternative assessments in early summer. There were many small frustrations, but I was amazed at how well we were able to help, and the adaptability of the students to such an entirely different situation. I also began to plan for re-opening, which included having various scenarios from being fully open to a limited click and collect model. We’ve been extremely fortunate, due to the layout of the Library, to be able to open fully, and to lose only a few study spaces to social distancing. Perspex was erected around the enquiry desk,

hand sanitiser and wipes were distributed throughout the Library and staff returned to work in two bubbles in September, alternating days on site with days working from home. Along with all other libraries, we had the mammoth task of trying to get books returned from graduating students who were now spread across the world. We agreed to accept book returns for any library and, with co-ordination from the University Library, books were then crated up and returned to their home libraries. This went on all summer, with a much smaller number of now graduates to continue chasing into the autumn. We had to move our usual inductions of freshers online. We all missed the opportunity to meet everyone in small groups, but we hope what we were able to provide still gave them a start in how to use the Library. Library Assistant Gabriel Duckels got the starring role in our Library walkthrough video. As term began, we introduced a new chat service allowing students to talk to us in real time over the internet. We felt this might be a welcome service for some who did not wish to physically come into the Library, and just another convenient method of communication for others. There hasn’t been a high take up, but it has been appreciated by those that have used it, and I see no reason to discontinue it post-Covid. We also got into a new rhythm for returning books from students, putting in place a 24 hour quarantine before they were returned to the shelves, and extra wiping for books with plastic covers where the virus could survive for longer. This seems to have worked well and I hope it has increased the confidence of students to use our books. Rosie and I also had to work out how to adapt what is usually an extremely hands on session for the Children’s Literature MPhil students. Whilst the PowerPoint presentation was easy enough to do over Zoom, allowing the students to see and explore our rare

books was a challenge. We decided to show them various items over the video, and also set them tasks using some images before the class. We then offered follow up one-to-one sessions with me where they could be hands on with items either selected by me or that fitted with an interest they already had. Finally, in late November I was able to deliver a talk on pantomime over Zoom, using a number of our rare books. This was quite a challenge – both in reading up on the history of panto, and in working out the best way to share our items with the audience. It seems fitting this year to say, as we enter 2021 “it’s behind you!” However, in what has been a challenging and changeable year, some things remain the same. The enthusiasm of students, the kindness of Homerton and, for the Library, eagerness to help, providing as much of a service as possible, exhibitions in the display cases, Christmas decorations in November and a smiling face behind the desk, though sometimes hidden by a mask. So with those things in mind we look forward to 2021 and taking forward what we have learnt

From lunchboxes to foodbanks

ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

Alumna Lorraine Schulze (née Wicker) (BEd 1985) explains how her Homerton training and 30 years in teaching equipped her to manage foodbank provision as demand soared during the pandemic. I was at Homerton from 1985–89 and it was an amazing and inspiring time, full of fun, friendship and vibrant learning experiences. It was in the days when everyone at Homerton was training to teach and we had that common bond. My main subject was Religious Studies and I especially enjoyed studying theology with other university students. I went on to teach in Kent, London and Medway for the next 30 years, teaching the whole age range from Nursery to Year 6 and specialising at times in music and then special needs. I spent the last 14 years as a SENCO, for most of that time working with a fantastic team in a Catholic primary school in a deprived area of Medway. I also worked on safeguarding issues for many of those years. When a particularly inspirational head teacher that I worked closely with retired, I decided to take a mini career break. After some part-time SENCO posts in tiny schools in Kent villages, I took a big career change step and took on the role of Project Manager for Medway Foodbank. I had been a voucher distributor for the foodbank in my role as SENCO and was well aware of the levels of poverty for many local people. As a volunteer at the foodbank in the church that I attended, I had already seen the foodbank operation from two different angles.

That was in 2018 and in that year the eight foodbank centres in Medway fed around 5,800 people. This year of 2020, as for all of us, has been somewhat different and challenging. We closed the foodbank centres during the first lockdown and haven’t opened them since. We reworked our whole operation quickly into a delivery only service and we are currently delivering around 100 parcels a week to those in need. Medway is currently in Tier 3 with our rates sadly being the highest in the country as I write in December. So far this year we have fed over 10,600 people, of which just over 5,000 were children. We are part of the UK-wide Trussell Trust network of foodbanks so we work with a voucher system. We have 150+ voucher distributor agencies including schools, Children and Family Hubs and local charity groups that support families. The aim is that, as well as receiving food, people also receive signposting support and advice to help them out of their financial crisis. From my days as a SENCO and safeguarding lead I know only too well the complexities of life for those experiencing poverty as well as the need for clear advice to help families make steps towards a better future. I have learnt that my skills from 30 years of teaching are certainly transferrable, and this year I have certainly called upon some of the resilience that I developed through working in a school in a challenging area.

All eyes on Beth

Cofinitive founder Faye Holland said: “What all our winners have in common is something that has the potential for huge impact on a personal, company or product basis.” After reading Theology and Religious Studies as an undergraduate at Pembroke, Beth spent eight years working as a screenwriter, during which time she also acquired a Postgraduate Diploma in Script Development at the National Film and Television School. She made the move back to academia in 2010, returning to Pembroke for a Masters, in which she developed a growing interest in the anthropology of religion, and how theistic elements find their way into such unlikely areas as pro-anorexia websites. Her PhD explored the formation of identity through online platforms, looking at how technology shapes people’s worldview, and as a post-doc she established an

increasing expertise in Artificial Intelligence from an anthropological perspective. After a research project at the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion, where she explored questions of human identity in relation to developments in AI, Beth joined Homerton in 2018. She is in international demand as a speaker and conference contributor, has lectured at the Faculty of Divinity and, through her active Twitter presence, provides an engaging and accessible voice on an aspect of contemporary life which many perceive as threatening. “The conversation around AI is moving so quickly, that there’s something very exciting about trying to keep up with both technological developments and people’s understanding of them,” she says. “Online cultures are constantly developing, so it’s almost like working in a lab – you’re seeing things happen in real time.” Having harnessed the skill-set of her previous career to make a series of short films about AI, Beth is rapidly making a name for herself as the go-to person for public engagement around the subject. “Science Fiction gives the impression that the future is set. I think it’s important to remind people that we do have agency. We can say no.”

Dr Mariah Whelan becomes Homerton’s first Poet-in-Residence The College was hugely excited, in August 2020, to appoint Oxford-based poet Mariah Whelan as its inaugural Poet-in-Residence, a role which is believed to be a first for any Cambridge college.

18 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS Photograph by David Johnson

The position is generously funded by Dr Norman Bardsley, in memory of his wife, Jacqueline, who attended Homerton from 1960–62. Mrs Bardsley, who died last year, was a lifelong writer and lover of poetry, and was actively involved in several poetry societies near her home in California. “Homerton has a long tradition of stimulating creativity and encouraging students to develop knowledge and skills that go well beyond their major academic studies,” says Dr Bardsley. “My family and I hope that the Poet-in-Residence programme will help to develop greater participation in the arts by future students and alumni.” The introduction of a Poet-in-Residence is intended to enable Homerton to foster a culture of poetry among its students and alumni, an ambition which correlates directly with Mariah’s previous experience. Having recently completed her PhD at the University of Manchester, and the

author of two published collections of poetry, she is also the former Director of the Oxford Writer’s House, which brings diverse communities together through writing. Mariah is a member of Truth Tellers, an interdisciplinary collective that brings together Arts and International Relations methodologies to explore questions of identity in contemporary Britain. “The thing about bringing people together to write poetry is that most people don’t do it professionally or in an academic context, so it’s a wonderful playground,” she says. The Principal, Professor Geoff Ward, said: “I am delighted to welcome Mariah Whelan as the first Poet-in-Residence at Homerton College. Not only does Mariah have an excellent reputation as a published poet, but also brilliant ideas for building a poetic community here, even under the tough conditions brought about by the pandemic. Poetry is quite rightly experiencing a revival of interest during these troubled times, when people are looking not only for solace but for new ideas. Mariah Whelan’s poetry is full of the new, but will appeal to all, and I am delighted to welcome her on behalf of Homerton College.”

thoughts in the context of Poetry and Connection. She has since conducted two virtual residencies for students, in one of which she made enthusiastic use of her findings from the Homerton archive, and regularly stages a takeover of the College’s social media in order to share her interactive approach to creating new work. “Poetry gives people new ways of thinking about the world,” she says. “It’s not a decoration on top of life, but fundamental to the way I live my life.”

Supporting refugees in Greece Second-year student Jacob Gawel (Natural Sciences 2019) took full advantage of the relaxing of travel bans over the summer, taking up a spontaneous opportunity to travel to a Greek island. Tempting as that might sound, this was no holiday, but a monthlong volunteering stint, working with Syrian refugees on the island of Chios. “I got a message from a friend saying that someone else had dropped out and did I want to go to Greece to help refugees for a month. A few weeks later I was on a plane.” Now run as a German NGO Offene Arme (Open Arms), the project Jacob worked with began in 2015 when Chios hotelier Toula Kitromilidi turned over her hotel to accommodate refugees who were arriving on the island with nothing. “Chios is one of the closest islands to Turkey – you can actually see Turkey from the east coast, and boatloads of people cross that stretch of water every day.” Refugees are now housed in a camp, but volunteers like Jacob are needed to run a clothing warehouse which provides them with essentials. Stocked with donations from all over Europe, the warehouse operates as a cashless shop, providing each person with set number of free items. “We had to restock the shop with winter items for the change of season, help people to find

suitable clothes, and check their documents to make sure they weren’t receiving more than they were entitled to. It’s awkward, as obviously you don’t want to deny people something when they have so little, but clothes are currency in the camp, so we have to stick to the system to ensure it’s fair.” Under normal circumstances, volunteers would also visit the camp itself to run activities such as language classes or children’s sports, but it was closed under Covid restrictions. Instead, Jacob visited refugees who were housed separately from the camp because they were perceived to be vulnerable, playing cards and providing muchneeded human interaction. “Talking to local people, you get an immediate sense of the tension between them and the NGOs. Although there were no boat landings while we were there, 250 people arrived in a single day just after we left, and there’s been lots of conflict. One of the clothing warehouses has previously been burned down by locals – it’s quite a volatile situation.” Jacob received a £300 grant from Homerton towards his expenses, which helped him to cover travel costs, a Covid-19 test and his accommodation at Toula’s hotel. “When you’re in a room full of people from all over the world, all fleeing from something and all of their lives in limbo, it’s quite overwhelming, but rewarding to be able to do something to help.”

Eddington street honours Homerton Fellow

20 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE NEWS

Homerton is delighted that one of its former Fellows, Jean Rudduck, has been immortalised by having a road named after her in Eddington, the new residential development in North West Cambridge. Fittingly, Rudduck Way is opposite the pioneering University of Cambridge Primary School, in whose creation several members of the College played key roles. Jean Rudduck died of ovarian cancer in 2007 aged 70. She was well known for championing the potential of ‘pupil voice’ as a means of achieving school improvement and changes to teaching and learning. Her ideas were taken up both across the UK and further afield. Jean was Joint Director of Research at Homerton during the 1990s and made major contributions by building the College’s reputation as an international centre for research and innovation. She also played an important role in helping to create the vision for the new Faculty of Education in 2001. She was made a Professorial and Foundation Fellow in 2001, and appointed Professor of Education by the University.

When, several years ago, the University asked for suggested names for Eddington’s streets and roads, it received over 50 nominations including Nobel prize-winners, scientists, poets and playwrights. During a second round these suggestions were whittled down to the Nobel laureates, features of the landscape and nine people nominated by the local community. These included the biblical scholar Miles Burkitt, the physicist Sir Arthur Eddington, Dorothy Garrod, the University’s first female professor in Archaeology, and Alan Turing, the pioneering computer scientist. Having reached the final round, Rudduck Way provides a permanent record of Jean’s outstanding contribution among those honoured on the new site. Jean is the second person associated with Homerton in recent times to have had a road named after them.

While our proximity to Addenbrooke’s Hospital meant that we were ideally placed to offer support, it wasn’t initially clear what form this might take. “At first, it was thought that Addenbrooke’s might be overwhelmed, so we offered to provide accommodation to any healthcare professionals who might need to be near to the hospital,” explains the Principal, Professor Geoff Ward. “In the event that wasn’t necessary, but instead we were able to offer space to store personal protective equipment (PPE) for use at the hospital and in other settings.” Cambridge University departments, including the School of Biological Sciences, the Cambridge The Principal with some of the supplies of PPE Institute for Medical Research, and the departments of Zoology, Pharmacology and Chemistry donated face “From the start, and throughout, Homerton masks, visors, gowns, goggles, antibacterial wipes have been fantastic,” says the Pro-Vice and hazmat suits. Donations also flooded in from Chancellor for Enterprise and Business Relations, around the world through alumni connections and Professor Andy Neely. “The speed with which University partners, allowing a central logistics hub the facility was set up was in no small part to be formed at Homerton. due to Homerton’s generous offer to provide The auditorium in the Mary Allan Building, used space for the PPE donations.

finished my undergraduate degree in mathematics in 2019 and now work for the Homerton Union of Students. As you might guess, when I was elected last year, we had no idea what was just around the corner. Let me take you back to the end of a fairly usual Lent term: full of essay sessions in the library; successes in sport on the pitches and river; the grand Formals every week in the Great Hall; the bustle of hundreds of students living and socialising as the great big Homerton community. After most students returned home for the vacation, then the headlines came. The guidance from the University updated over the Easter vacation, as things became more and more serious across the country and the world, and Easter term became remote. Students found the whole experience very weird to start with: we were Zooming into supervisions, socialising with mates from back gardens and bedrooms, through screens and calls instead of over cups of tea or pints in the Buttery. The move to home study was difficult for some. The whole system behind Homerton existed inside a screen instead of faces around the hallways. Students became used to seeing the living rooms of their Directors of Studies, and the kitchens of their tutors. Academics and supervisors were trying various exciting ways to teach virtually, showing slides and virtual whiteboards, or just spending hours on end chatting about the subject. Room-booking deadlines became a thing of the past. The support system at Homerton didn’t go away however. The HUS continued to support students in a variety of ways. We put on social

events, we put on virtual yoga. We hosted regular welfare drop-ins for students to come together and share ideas about how to cope with the struggles of juggling the academic workload alongside the issues caused or exacerbated by the pandemic. We supported our black students by unequivocally supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, and have responded as a union in light of this to better represent students from minority backgrounds. Students also still had plenty of support from the College itself. The College counsellor and nurse went virtual, students kept in close contact with Tutors over email, phone calls and of course Zoom. Regular academic updates from the Senior Tutor reassured students that the University was coming up with plans for the term. The exams that individuals such as myself had to complete at the end of the year were, I feel, communicated clearly to put our minds at rest and the news of a safety net was great relief for students who feared that they had been disadvantaged by the whole situation It’s not been all bad news, and I hope you’ll celebrate with us the successes of students! Some students used their spare time to give back. Many students across many universities volunteered their time and expertise for the Coronavirus Tutoring Initiative, a nonprofit that asked university students to virtually tutor those who were sadly unable to attend school due to closures. I know that many of our students keenly took part. Homerton’s May Ball Committee were proud to be involved with the May Week Mega event, that raised over £7,000 for the Against Malaria Foundation, by putting on a huge event to try and make up for the absence of the extravagant May Balls at the end of the year. Back closer to home, the HUS raised £123 for Winter Comfort,

over the past couple of months, as guidelines constantly change. We’ve got many events planned virtually for our freshers, but also realise that it’s hard to make friendships over a screen so will be organising amazing in-person opportunities for small groups of students in households – for example we will buy them pizza and give them board games for them to eat together and enjoy as households. We have booked escape rooms in Cambridge for groups of 4–6 so students can go and socialise in households in a Covid-safe way. We’re very lucky to be in constant communication with students. They understand that things are difficult for everyone and know that we can’t go back to normal. We’re very hopeful and excited for some epic events to occur as soon as this is all over n A version of this article was delivered as a speech as part of the 2020 Virtual Alumni Reunion Weekend.

Students have been arriving from overseas over the past three weeks into quarantine in halls, in preparation for the next academic year. I was asked by College to assemble a team of about eight students to help support those in quarantine. My first achievement was getting the College to sign off on naming it “the Quaranteam”. We’ve been checking in on each student daily, delivering meals from hall, organising grocery deliveries, as well as hosting Zooms in the evenings, giving out arts and crafts and sweets and pizza. We hope that we’ve been able to make what is a rather difficult time of self-isolation as pleasant as possible for students. Once students are here, we were a bit worried about both the social aspects of university and the welfare of arriving students. The planning for student social events has changed many times

CHARTER CHOIR OF HOMERTON COLLEGE Dr Daniel Trocmé-Latter, Director of Music

26 ANNUAL REVIEW COLLEGE LIFE

here to start a report on music, in a year when musicians’ lives have been turned upside down? I count myself extremely fortunate to be in a stable job, one which – even if it has involved almost nothing in the way of live music-making since March – has still meant I can work. The sounds of Fauré’s Requiem from St Martin-in-the-Fields and the Charter Choir’s new Christmas recording, Till all the place with music ring, had barely finished resonating in our ears when we heard about the emergence of some mysterious new virus; the weeks passed and the first cases in different corners of the world were confirmed. In late February and in March, as we headed towards the end of Lent term, most of us in Cambridge still had no idea about the significance or the lasting impact of this coronavirus.

For the Charter Choir, there was no sign of slowing down: on Saturday 7 March the Choir’s ranks swelled to double their usual size as we welcomed c.25 alumni to sing a special Evensong in celebration of the College’s – and thereby also the Choir’s – 10-year Royal Charter anniversary. With those present spanning the whole of the past decade, including some dating back to the foundation year itself, the air was filled with exuberance and celebration, our glasses with wine. The augmented choir also sang at the Charter Dinner itself, to an audience of Fellows of the College and their esteemed guests. The next day, the number of confirmed cases in the UK was reported 273, with three confirmed deaths; 10 days later, the very idea of ever holding such an event as the Charter Dinner seemed implausible; two weeks later, the whole country was in lockdown. Institutions shut their doors; choirs, orchestras, and all other sorts of musical groups and solo performers were silenced.

Choral alumni joined the Charter Choir for an anniversary Evensong

Back in the University sphere, all teaching and examining was done online for the duration of Easter term, and all other in-person activities were curtailed. For the Charter Choir, and all other choirs in Cambridge and beyond, this meant that life became very complicated – or, from another perspective, very straightforward. There was simply no prospect of singing. Our anticipated tour to Italy – where we would have sung in Milan, Cremona, Mantua, and Ferrara – was out of the question. However, we were able to pull together a virtual Evensong in July, hosted generously by the Church of St John the Evangelist, Hills Road. Every choir member sent in a recording of themselves at home, singing a simple anthem and a hymn, with additional liturgical material provided by soloists. One of our first-year Choral Scholars, and an undergraduate in Medicine, Adam Wolowczyk, then took on the mammoth task of editing the musical content. Adam and I spent hours on the phone or over Zoom, correcting errors of pitch and rhythm, and discussing the overall balance of the choir as one recording was layered on another until the desired ensemble effect was achieved. We have, of course, come a long way since then. Professional and non-professional choirs were

able to resume in-person activities in August, after research from Public Health England concluded that singing was by and large no riskier than speaking at a similar volume. This gave the green light to cathedral and church choirs to start up again, albeit in unfamiliar and distanced layouts, and university choirs began following suit at the start of their new academic years. Hopes for a normalityresembling Michaelmas term in Cambridge, however, were soon dashed, as Covid-19 cases began to rise again in September. At Homerton in October, with risk assessments approved, singers placed two metres apart from one another, and strict cleaning processes in place, we managed just a single Evensong before West House was put into isolation. With all of our first-years out of the picture (meaning that a third of the Choir was taken out of action) and with yours truly also in isolation, the following Evensong then had to be cancelled. We managed one further performance, with much reduced forces, the following week, before the second national lockdown came into effect. At Homerton, this meant that all extracurricular in-person activities were suspended. By the time we emerged from that lockdown, the end of term had arrived.

However, the show had to go on somehow, so we geared up for one more virtual choir event: a carol service. Again, each choir member recorded themselves singing in isolation, and this time I put them all together, with software advice and assistance from Adam. The preparation (recording myself conducting, accompanying, and creating listening tracks for the choir) involved five to 10 hours of work, while the editing process took me something like 80 hours over six days – and all for just 15½ minutes of music,working out at about five hours’ editing per minute! Because lockdown had struck before we had begun rehearsing any Christmas music, the choir members had to fend for themselves in terms of note-learning. Many others played their part, making this a truly collaborative effort. Our Honorary Lay Chaplain, Miss Patricia Maude, organised the readings, with some poetry suggestions from our new Poet-in-Residence, Dr Mariah Whelan. Alumna Natalie Jobbins quickly organised a recording of the jazz trio accompaniment to her arrangement of In the Bleak Midwinter. Current soprano and English

student Charlotte Horner recorded not only the solo to Natalie’s piece but also listening tracks for each of the four parts to David Hurd’s Alleluia canon. Our unflappable IT department installed my new audio- and video-editing software (and even provided me with a new computer in my office when my existing one couldn’t cope with the graphics!). The Revd. Chris Campbell, Curate at St John’s Church, generously integrated all the moving parts into the final version of the video, which was broadcast on our YouTube channel on Tuesday 1 December. Now, with choir members scattered all over the UK, Europe, and the world for the Christmas vacation, we brace ourselves for the challenges of 2021. As ever, alumni and other supporters of the Choir are warmly encouraged to follow the Charter Choir on their Facebook page, at www.facebook.com/homcharterchoir, and we look forward to welcoming you back at a performance or service once ‘normality’ resumes.

Professor Ravi Gupta led the world’s first published validation and implementation study of a rapid point of care nucleic acid test for Covid-19, now used by over 100 NHS Trusts and more than 20 schools. Having started out as a device for monitoring HIV viral load in sub-Saharan Africa, the test is now enabling rapid testing and safe hospital triage during the UK’s second wave of Covid-19. In a follow-up paper, Ravi’s team demonstrated that point of care nucleic acid testing combined with point of care antibody testing by lateral flow significantly increases diagnostic sensitivity in hospitalised patients. Ravi has also been continuing his work on HIV, identifying a new way in which the virus has developed resistance to a powerful class of drugs called protease inhibitors. “Most of our drug resistance work has been in clinic attendees, and I have wanted to know how drug resistance impacts hospitalised patients. I had the opportunity to work with colleagues at the Malawi-Wellcome unit, and we undertook NGS in patients hospitalised for conditions such as TB. We found not only that a significant proportion

had unsuppressed HIV in blood, but that there was a strong association between multi-drug resistance and 28 day mortality. The implications of this work are that hospitalisation offers an opportunity to test for viral failure, resistance and intervene.” Ravi’s role in the treatment of the London Patient, the second person ever to be ‘cured’ of HIV, saw him named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of the Year in September 2020.

hat distinguishes an institution from a community? It was an easy question to answer this year, because Homerton-as-a-community has been on daily display. As everywhere, the pandemic has had some effects that are the same for everyone (every current student, Fellow and staff member sorely misses the camaraderie of lunch in the Great Hall, for example) – but in other aspects, Homertonians have been affected very differently. Some report feeling more connected than ever, since it has become natural to use video calls to meet colleagues and friends regardless of distance. Others have felt totally cut off from support. A strong community connects all its members, and the Development Office team set about providing that connection to Homertonians in new ways and with a new sense of mission. Communications Our External Communications Manager, Laura Kenworthy, found that social media in particular gained in importance during the pandemic. She uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep alumni, staff and students connected to Homerton, and found a great appetite from alumni to learn about how the College was responding to the challenge. As a forum to share our concern and support for students, to update the community on how we were responding to the challenges of self-isolation, and to celebrate news of the extraordinary work of Homerton researchers, social media allows for an immediacy and an intimacy which filled a real need.

“Social media has enabled us to connect, casually and regularly, with the College community as a whole,” says Laura. “At a time when everyone has been scattered and isolated, it has allowed alumni, however long ago they left, to be in regular contact with the College and to know that they are part of a wider network.” Over the Spring, realising that the intellectual life of the Homerton community could continue and reach new audiences despite being scattered, we devised the Homersphere (www. homersphere.org), an online magazine carrying articles from Homerton researchers, senior and junior, on topics that take their fancy. The result has been a delightful variety: everything from the stories behind Fitzwilliam Museum artworks, to the conservation of rhinos, via cricket and plumbing and David Foster Wallace. Ease of encountering ideas from other disciplines is the defining feature of a Cambridge College, and we are proud that, necessity being the mother of invention, Homerton now has this terrific new forum to share ideas. Do have a look. Alumni Relations Also in the front line was our new Alumni Relations Manager, Sally Nott. Sally joined Homerton a matter of weeks before the first lockdown in March (there are still many colleagues she has not seen outside a square box on her computer monitor!). We were very conscious that not every one of our alumni used social media, and that this was the group most likely to be feeling isolated – not just from Homerton, but from everything else. Using our database, she quickly began calling our alumni aged over 70, with no email address listed. By the end of the first lockdown she had had 190 conversations with alumni – not only a sign to our alumni that

hotels; and the ‘level playing field’ of our student rooms at Homerton was replaced by the hugely varying conditions that students encountered while learning from home. ‘Study at home’ was barely feasible for students with elderly computers, poor network connection, no private space to study, and rowdy young siblings. Alumni contributed magnificently to our Covid-19 Emergency Fund, turning a handsome lead donation of £20,000 from Siobhan Cassidy and her husband Adrian into a fund of some £40,000 to address immediate need. Thank you, sincerely, to all those who were able to help. And in our telethon, when it finally happened in December 2020/January 2021, alumni gave Fundraising more generously than ever before.

ALUMNI WEEKEND Name

46 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

osting Alumni Reunion Weekend in virtual form was an interesting prospect. Without a physical return to College, the chance to check up on familiar haunts, catch up with old friends and fill up on indulgent food, what was left? Well, quite a lot, as it turned out. One hundred and twenty alumni joined us via Zoom for a weekend which demonstrated that the energy, vitality and variety of Homerton life were undiminished by six months of remote activity.

• Our Pre-Clinical Director of Studies in Medicine, Dr Julia Kenyon, provided a clear, accessible and fascinating session on how knowledge of other viruses is enabling her and other scientists to unravel the mysteries of Covid-19.

• A Welcome session with the Principal, Senior Tutor and HUS President explained how Homerton has responded to the pandemic, from supporting remote learning, to working towards antibody testing and supplying PPE to Addenbrooke’s.

Groups of alumni celebrating 60, 50, 40 and 30 years out also gathered in social Zoom calls. It was wonderful to see so many people engaging with the College, and fascinating to see how a new approach, while brought about by inauspicious circumstances, can have benefits. Several participants mentioned that distance or other commitments meant that they would be unable to attend an in-person event. We are delighted that they were able to take part this year, and will incorporate online access into future events to enable them to continue to do so. We are enormously grateful to Sally Nott, who joined Homerton as Alumni Relations Manager in March and had spent a mere 10 days in College before lockdown banished her to work from home. Creating the first ever virtual Alumni Reunion Weekend, six months into the post but having spent almost none of that on site, is no small achievement! n

• Our Director of Music, Dr Daniel TrocméLatter, and members of the Charter Choir described the process of creating a recording (and an Evensong!) while scattered in their respective homes, as well as looking ahead to their plans for gathering once again as a choir.

• Dr Mariah Whelan made her first official appearance as the Jacqueline Bardsley Poetin-Residence, leading a moving and thoughtprovoking session on Poetry and Connection.

ALUMNI NEWS We are delighted to share the following news of our alumni. Please do get in touch (alumni@homerton.cam.ac.uk ) if you would like to include an update in the next issue. 47 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

1940s Eileen McWilliam (née Price) (CertEd with Music, 1945) sent us a wonderful overview of her post-Homerton career. “Miss Skillicorn was not pleased that I had not accepted a teaching post on leaving Homerton, but I think I was forgiven when I told her that I had accepted the Open Scholarship at the Royal College of Music in London, where I stayed for five years to qualify. My voice developed so well I sang professionally for many years, until a devastating car accident stopped my progress for some years. However I was able to start again after a few years quite successfully, ending up as Head of the Vocal Department of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and London University. I was also the chair of the Association of Teachers of Singing in the UK for two years. I returned to the Land of my Fathers six years ago, and take occasional private pupils and give advice on voice.”

Rebecca Kirkby, Ann Kirkby and Eleanor Harper

“Eleanor was a wonderful mother and teacher who held Homerton in a special place in her heart,” Ann wrote. “I probably would not have gone to Homerton were it not for her, and the same would probably be true for my daughter. My mother, my daughter and I have all loved Homerton and, on their behalf, they and I wish the staff and students the very best for the future years there.”

1950s We were saddened to hear from Ann Kirkby (née Harper) (BEd 1976) of the death of her mother, Eleanor Harper (née Kirkby) (CertEd 1949). Eleanor, who died just shy of her 90th birthday in February 2020, was the first of three generations of Homertonian women. Her granddaughter, Ann’s daughter, Rebecca Kirkby, completed her PGCE at Homerton in 2016–17, before undertaking the Masters in Education in 2018. Rebecca currently teaches at Comberton Village College, and is completing her Farmington Scholarship at Homerton.

Ruth Alcock (née Alpine) (CertEd 1954) travelled from Yorkshire to study at Homerton, where she qualified as a teacher and met a St John’s student, Robert Alcock, whom she married in 1960. Ruth sent us these memories of her time in Cambridge.

“My room was 102 on the third floor of the ABC wing. One lunch time I was called out of lunch and asked to show an old lady over College. She had been at Homerton in 1895 and had lived in the same room. She remembered having to make a candle last and not to ask for a replacement.

ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

My father’s cousin was at Homerton in 1923, though I never knew her name. Her parents received a letter from College one day informing them that their daughter was associating with a young man from Jesus College and should they discourage the friendship? I shall never forget the tradition at 10pm on the last night before going down for Christmas Vacation. Keeping it secret from the new first years until the last minute the Senior Student Grace Isaacs led a carol singing crocodile gradually along the wings ABC and DEF all in darkness except for our electric torches.

What a different world it was! Ten girls were presented at Court and the next day, back in College, they paraded in their dresses. I did come back just the once when we were newly retired and it happened to be Graduation Day. I was thrilled to see the boys, what an improvement!”

1960s Anne Martin (née Sparrowe) (CertEd 1968) shared with us her reflections on a year like no other. “I am sure that for many people of my age, having just passed my 70th birthday, this year as well as being an extraordinary year for all the wrong reasons, has been a time of reflection. I know I have been very lucky to not live on my own, to have had access to my own and shared gardens during complete lockdown, to have a secure income and to have had plenty to do. I guess for those of us who grew up during the 1950s and 60s, the limits imposed have for many been not as hard as for those younger than ourselves. I remember the lonely school holidays stretching out in front of me. We did not have a television until I was 11 and viewing was strictly rationed. The telephone was only used for important calls or emergencies. As I had few friends locally, most of the time I occupied myself. This year I have been really appreciative of Zoom, WhatsApp and email. That doesn’t mean I haven’t missed family and friends, especially as we moved 400 miles three years ago to support our daughter and sonin-law as they adopted two young children. I have missed my close friends; Zoom, email, WhatsApp and the telephone are not the same

1970s as going for a walk or meeting for a coffee, and visits south not practical. But technology has given us new opportunities. I was fortunate to have a project to finish this year. I completed my PhD thesis, having my viva by Zoom. I experienced the kindness of people, when I needed to get hold of two rare books for corrections. I have used Zoom to hold weekly meetings for the Edinburgh Society of Recorder Players and we have put virtual performances together – something I previously had no experience of. Meetings I have attended by Zoom have been far more efficient than previous face-face meetings, often completed in an hour when they previously took two hours or more. Through small Zoom groups, I have met people I had not previously met. I’ve read more than usual and started embroidery again after 40 years. I’ve tried to contact people I haven’t spoken to for a while, particularly those who are on their own and have enjoyed catching up with them.

Congratulations to Dr Jane Clements (née Boddington) (CertEd 1971) who has been awarded an MBE for services to Inter-Faith and Community Cohesion. Nicola Kemp (née Morris) (CertEd 1974) has retired as Assistant Head and Head of 6th Form, and written her first novel, All You Should Be, available on Amazon. Boosted by the response it has received, she is now working on a sequel. Dr Wendy Bishop (née Waterfield) (PGCE 1976) is currently working as an independent landscape historian. Her book, Ornamental Lakes: Their Origins and Evolution in English Landscapes will be published in 2021 by Routledge.

49 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

So I wonder what we will think when the year is over and hopefully the end of the Covid epidemic is in sight. I’m looking forward to hugging my grandchildren again, which as adopted children they really need, and my daughter and son-in-law, who are exhausted. What will we remember positively about this year? The extraordinary dedication of the NHS and scientists; the imaginative use of technology; the wakening up of communities to support each other; the hope of change in the USA; a greater appreciation of what we had and hope for the future. We must never forget the tragedies of this year; the deaths, the after-effects of Covid, the increase in domestic violence, unemployment and all the consequences of this and increased mental health problems. 2021 will be a year to take stock and consider the future and how we want our world to be.”

Dr Miranda Malins (BA History 2003) completed an MPhil and PhD at Magdalene after leaving Homerton. A commercial solicitor, she began writing historical novels while on maternity leave. The Puritan Princess, a fictionalised life of Oliver Cromwell’s daughter, was published by Orion Fiction in March 2020.

She has also collaborated on a pilot which is being made into a radio play, and regularly ghost-writes content for blue-chip companies.

2010s Dr Constanze Maria Hammerle (MRes 2010, PhD Medical Sciences 2011) has recently published the findings of her team at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science: Mesenchyme-derived IGF2 is a major paracrine regulator of pancreatic growth and function. The research comprised the main chapter of Constanze’s PhD thesis, and enables the scientific community to access the peer-reviewed findings of many years of research, leading to wider understanding of the mechanisms contributing to a functional pancreas. She has since moved to Denmark, where she works as a regulatory project manager in stem cell development at Novo Nordisk, maintaining her focus on diabetes research. “I attach the striking image of an immuno-staining which closely resembles Edvard Munch’s iconic artwork Scream, which I discovered in one of the research sections I imaged for my project – nature truly is amazing!

Dr Miranda Malins

Miranda is a Trustee of the Cromwell Association and regularly speaks at historical conferences as well as publishing journal articles and book reviews. Jessica King (BA History 2006–11) recently wrote a script on which she has had professional feedback from Industrial Scripts. She is now looking to re-submit her edited version to find a producer and an interested network.

We were delighted to hear from George Jenkins (BA Classics 2011; MPhil Classics 2014) and Ruth Jenkins (née Beddow) (BA Geography 2010; PGCE 2013; MEd 2016) that they have welcomed their first child, Henry John David Jenkins, this year.

achievements. Tania recently published her first single-author article in Theory and Research in Education, entitled Children’s wellbeing and their academic achievement: The dangerous discourse of ‘trade-offs’ in education.

Rebekah-Miron Clayton (BA Education with English and Drama 2013) contributed to The Emma Press Anthology of Illness – a collection of poems that grapple with everything from chronic conditions to life-altering hospital stays. Her poem Check up was recently mentioned in The Glass Magazine’s review and the anthology is available to buy online and in bookstores. Over the past year, Rebekah has been published by Rattle Magazine, Maudlin House, Nymphs Publications and Lunate. In June, Rebekah’s poem Moon Bear was shortlisted for the Frogmore Poetry Prize and then published in their autumn edition. In August, Rebekah was a finalist in the Sweet Lit Poetry Contest.

52 ANNUAL REVIEW ALUMNI

e all know what a terrible year this has been for everyone. Not surprisingly for the Retired Senior Members Association, all of whom by definition are over 65 and many much older and frail, lockdown has been a dangerous and isolating experience. All our usual social events, in and out of College, site visits to gardens and museums, our coffee mornings, have been cancelled until further notice. However, with characteristic resilience, the Committee has maintained a number of its key functions: Libby Jared edited a 40-page bumper annual Newsletter in 2020, and there were reports from the Committee and news about College sent out regularly by Clare Ryan from the Bursar’s Office. As usual we maintained contact with sick and isolated older members via email and Zoom. Every week Philip Stephenson gave us his riveting personal insight into works of art at the Fitzwilliam Museum. The RSM Committee continues to meet regularly on Zoom. Like everyone else we long for the return of normality, or even approximate normality, so we can once again enjoy a distanced coffee morning in College. Sadly, this year we have lost a number of older members, but gained a few new retirees. Among the losses were John Chapman, a much-loved Head Porter, fondly remembered by students from the 80s and 90s, as well as Dr Jill Richardson, who taught Psychology with memorable pizazz. She and Mike Bibby made a great partnership and were always very sociable and welcoming to younger members of staff and students alike. We also mourn the loss of Barbara Pointon MBE, Head of Music at Homerton, who became

nationally famous for her TV documentary on Alzheimer’s and the harrowing decline of her husband, Malcolm, also a former Head of Music. Barbara was one of those exceptional Homerton characters who made a mark on all who met her, especially her students who enjoyed performing music or singing with her. More recently we have to report the loss of George Hume. George was a member of the mathematics department and is remembered fondly by many people. Some colleagues knew George when he first arrived from Uganda after being ejected by Idi Amin in 1972. Despite having lost a lot – both emotionally and financially – he always seemed cheerful, caring and positive with a splendid sense of humour. Others recall that he had the knack of helping to take the heat out of tricky situations, hence his appointment as our first Dean of discipline. There was never a kinder, more gentle Dean in Cambridge than George. He lived in France for a number of years after retirement before moving back to the Cambridge area. We welcome new retirees from the Faculty of Education: Keith Taber, Professor of Science Education, who joined Homerton in 1999, but a year later transferred to the Faculty, and Dr Peggy Watson who was appointed to Homerton in 2007 as Senior Research Fellow in Sociology and as Director of Studies in HSPS (Human Social and Political Sciences). A specialist in post-Cold War studies in Eastern Europe, Peggy focused on the sociology of health and critical gender studies. She had first-hand experience of living and studying at the University of Warsaw in the final years of the Cold War, but had also worked later in the USA and Helsinki. It is interesting now to welcome retiring College Fellows into the RSMA as they complement the majority of older members who

for medics! During Robin’s time there was also a complete refurbishment of the new library. In spite of Covid-19, keeping in touch is relatively easy with mobile phones, newsletters, email, and Zoom, but nothing compares with an hour of sitting down with old friends, having a chat, and catching up with College gossip. Hopefully we shall return to that soon in some shape or form in 2021 n

remember Homerton before ‘convergence’ with the University. We also welcome Robin Surtees, who was deputy librarian for nearly 20 years at a time of considerable change for the College and its students. She saw the number of triposes offered for undergraduate study expand exponentially – a great deal of book purchasing was therefore required every year to keep up with these new courses and other essentials such as skeletons

OBITUARIES Intro text?

MIRANDA HARRIS

ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

CertEd 1972

Miranda Harris trained as a teacher at Homerton from 1972–1975. She was killed in a terrible road accident in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on October 28th, 2019. After graduating she taught at Tanbridge House school in Horsham, before moving with her young family to Bristol in 1978, where her husband Peter trained for the Anglican ministry. In 1983 they moved to Portugal where they bought, established and led a field study centre and bird observatory. This was the first expression of the environmental charity A Rocha, which they founded. Over the years, A Rocha (www.arocha.org) has become a global Christian conservation movement, dedicated to communicating the relationship between the Christian faith and commitment to the environment and the planet. In the years that followed they oversaw the establishment of two other centres in France and travelled extensively to resource the rapidly growing number of Christians active in nature

conservation, which now has teams in 21 countries, and centres in many of those. In 2010, Peter and Miranda moved back to the UK for family reasons but continued their work of sharing A Rocha’s Christian approach to conservation with many across a wide range of backgrounds around the world. Miranda was raised in a cultured family and carried her fine sense of beauty and poetry into everything that she became involved in. She was musical, artistic and deeply creative in everything she undertook. But of her many gifts, probably the greatest was her capacity to make the other feel listened to and loved, whether she was interacting with someone very familiar or a complete stranger. That A Rocha has succeeded in becoming a relational and family orientated movement, despite the constraints imposed by its global nature, is in large measure due to Miranda’s ceaseless investment in all those who belong to it. Her enormous creative capacity bore its greatest work in the lives of many, both in and beyond A Rochafruits which of course cannot be measured, unlike the book she longed to write but was never able to. She was an outstanding communicator, in both spoken and written word, often lecturing with Peter at Regent College Vancouver among other places, and writing literally thousands of cards and letters to those she loved and cared about. The premature death of a person so vibrantly alive is a lasting loss. Miranda is survived by Peter, her four children and eight grandchildren. Supplied by Anita Cleverly

BARBARA POINTON Music Department 1963–1993

Love Story (1999) and Malcolm and Barbara: Love’s Farewell (2007) demonstrated movingly yet unsparingly the impact of Malcolm’s illness. The programmes gave Barbara a platform from which to advocate for patients with dementia and their families, and in 2004 she won a landmark case that the NHS should fund nursing care at home as well as in care homes and hospitals. Barbara worked for more than two decades as an ambassador for Dementia UK and the Alzheimer’s Society, as well as advising the Government and contributing to the national dementia strategy. She fought tirelessly for a more sympathetic approach to the care of dementia patients, for free access to the necessary care and for support for families. In 2006 she was made MBE for services to dementia. Following Malcolm’s death in 2007, Barbara returned to Homerton as Director of Music for two years. She remained a member of the RSMA until her death, and numbered countless former students and colleagues among her friends. In 2018 Barbara began to develop dementia herself, and was looked after in the purpose-built Denbigh ward at Fulbourn Hospital, which she had helped to design in the 1990s. Barbara died on 21 June 2020, aged 80.

ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

Barbara Pointon was a Homerton fixture for generations of students, whom she taught, befriended and to a certain extent adopted. As Emeritus Fellow Professor John Hopkins put it, “the overall ethos that Barbara cultivated was that of an extended family.” As a lecturer in the Music Department from 1963–1993, for much of which she was Head of Music, Barbara shaped the musical aspect of the four-year BEd degree and the one-year PGCE. Taking a practical approach to the subject, the Music Department staged its own concerts and recitals and maintained a choir, orchestra and steel pan group, as well as ensuring that Homertontrained teachers were equipped to bring enthusiasm and energy to the teaching of music in schools across the country for decades to come. Barbara and her husband, Malcolm, also a lecturer in the Music Department, regularly hosted social events at their house in Thriplow for students, many of whom stayed in touch. Malcolm was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in 1991, at the age of just 52, and retired from the department. Barbara took early retirement a year later to care for him, and became a hugely influential campaigner for dementia care. Two documentaries made by the film-maker Paul Watson for ITV, Malcolm and Barbara: A

JEAN MARY ROBINSON (CertEd 1943)

84 ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

Jean was born in West Runton, Norfolk, the only child of elderly, but wonderful parents. They later moved to Torrisholme, near Morecambe and then Warton, near Lytham. Her childhood was happy and secure and her schooldays enjoyable and successful. War was declared on Jean’s 14th birthday, 3rd September 1939. The outbreak of war limited educational opportunities for Jean in her teenage years. Jean had always loved history and dearly wished to read history at university. Instead, she found herself training to be a teacher at Homerton. Although Jean’s experiences of Cambridge were disrupted, there was still a great deal to enjoy. She spoke fondly of punting on the Cam, tea at Grantchester, and Evensong at King’s, albeit without the stained-glass windows, which had been removed to keep them safe. Jean also had fond memories of watching the boat race, which was moved to the Ouse at Ely. She was enthralled by the lectures of Lord Beveridge and Sir Richard Livingstone on the Butler Education Act of 1944, heralding the ‘brave new world’ ahead. Jean and her contemporaries celebrated VE Day at Parker’s Piece. From 1945 to 1960 Jean worked in schools in Wembley, Harrow, Acton and Hayes,

teaching Nursery, Infant, Primary and Secondary children. During this time, she studied at London University and attained a First-Class Honours degree in History. In 1960 she was appointed as Head of Minet School in Hayes and then moved to Worcestershire in 1965 as Inspector of Schools, work she found stimulating, interesting and varied. Jean retired in 1982 and her attention turned to enjoying reading and gardening, joining the Malvern Horticultural Society. She particularly enjoyed visiting famous gardens, National Trust properties and the theatre at Stratford. She also retained her lifelong interest in education as a Governor of the Wells School from 1983 to 1995. Jean loved walking and could often be seen walking from Malvern along the Wells Road to visit the school. Jean was always something of a crusader and when she thought something was wrong or unfair, she went into battle with great determination to try to put things right. The Freckleton air disaster of 1944, where an American Bomber crash landed into the local school, happened at Wharton airfield, very close to where Jean was living and deeply affected everyone. On visiting the National Arboretum in Staffordshire, Jean was amazed to find that there was no mention of this tragedy amongst the numerous memorials. Jean set about campaigning and was instrumental in having a fitting memorial tribute erected there. During her retirement Jean lived at Morgan Court, a retirement property, for 27 happy years, before moving to Perrins House, Malvern in 2019, where she was blissfully happy. Jean loved her room, looking out onto the fabulous gardens and spent many happy hours enjoying the vista, whilst she read her extensive collection of books. Jean was thankful for many things in her life, particularly her good education and her close circle of friends. Supplied by Joyce Green

85 ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

Everyone who knew Carmen remembered her with a smile. She was warm, funny, creative and adventurous. Born and brought up in Bridgend in South Wales, she entered Homerton in 1958 to study for a Certificate in Education, majoring in Mathematics. Shortly after graduating, she married her first husband, David, whom she had met in Cambridge. His work took them overseas, and they lived for some years in Singapore, bringing up three daughters. Back in the UK in the 1970s, they bought an old property in Somerset,

turning it into a guest house for expatriates on leave. Carmen cooked, and raised goats. Some time afterwards, the marriage broke up, and Carmen returned to teaching secondary school Mathematics in the area. In the late 1980s, ever adventurous, Carmen moved to the Canary Islands, working as a cook/manager of a restaurant, and later turned up in Brussels, where she took up a teaching post at The British School. We happened to be living there at the time, as was another old Homertonian, Wanda Kieblinska (née Wachowicz) and the three of us had many happy times together. Eventually Carmen returned to Somerset, where she lived surrounded by numerous grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. As well as doing supply teaching, she taught summer courses for overseas students at Millfield School. In 2008 she married Joe Clarke, a retired businessman. Joe adored Carmen, and together they travelled widely and happily on holidays. Sadly, Carmen began to show signs of dementia, and in 2019 she moved into a nursing home. She died of a brain haemorrhage on April 19, 2020, deeply lamented by her large family and many friends.

BARBARA JEAN GREGORY (NÉE BAKER) CertEd late 1940s

86 ANNUAL REVIEW IN MEMORIAM

After training as a teacher at Homerton in the 1940s, Barbara went on to teach until she retired in 1988. She always spoke very fondly of Homerton and recommended it as an excellent place to train.

Barbara taught in the UK and abroad as her husband, John, was an officer in the Royal Air Force. She lived and taught in Malaya, Germany and Singapore. She fully embraced life abroad, participating in many activities and integrating herself into life as a busy officer’s wife. She was also a great mother and enjoyed bringing up her three daughters. On their return to the UK, they settled back in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. Barbara taught at a junior school in Amersham where she worked her way up to the position of deputy head teacher. As well as teaching, Barbara’s passion was always music. Alongside teaching a class she was also in charge of school choirs. She was highly involved in the musical life of her local area and particularly enjoyed singing, being an active member of the local choral society up until her early 80s. She was also highly involved in local church life, from delivering parish magazines to playing the organ for services. Barbara was a sparkling personality who enjoyed being surrounded by children and music throughout her life. She passed away very peacefully aged 92 in December 2020, after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for a number of years. She is survived by her three daughters, two grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Her granddaughter has recently followed in her footsteps by also training as a teacher at Homerton.

Although the College is currently closed to visitors, in normal times you are very welcome to visit Homerton and use our College Library, Dining Hall, Buttery and Bar. Overnight College accommodation is also available at a special alumni rate.

Accommodation Alumni of Homerton are able to book accommodation at the College at a discounted alumni rate. Outside of term time, you can book a single room by emailing alumni@ homerton.cam.ac.uk. During term, we cannot guarantee a room will be available, as the needs of current students must take priority. However, if you enquire 5 to 10 working days in advance, we should be able to advise you on availability. Unfortunately, during term time, we cannot accept bookings further in advance.

Dining Alumni are welcome to eat lunch in Hall at their own expense; no prior notice is necessary. Please be aware that you will need to pay in cash for your meal. Alumni are also entitled to dine at Formal Halls where space permits. If you would like to dine, please contact the Development Office (alumni@homerton.cam.ac.uk or 01223 747251); the Formal Hall price for alumni is currently £18.50, with non-alumni guests costing £22.50. Formal Halls are on Tuesdays in term time. If you wish to attend, please let us know by the preceding Wednesday. On occasions, alumni will be invited to dine at High Table; these occasions will be advertised in advance.

College Library Alumni may use the College Library for reading purposes (we regret that at present it is not possible for alumni to borrow items). If you wish to use the Library, please notify the Librarian in advance (library@homerton.cam.ac.uk).
