Principal’s report
Helen Mountfield KC
Welcome to Mansfield’s second College Record - an annual publication dedicated to recording the events and achievements of each academic year
This past year has once again been a remarkable one for Mansfield – full of ambition, achievement, and the unique energy that defines our community. Looking back, I feel the same deep pride that I know so many of us share: pride in our students, who continue to bring fresh insight, challenge, and determination; in our academics, whose influence reaches far beyond our walls; and in our alumni and friends, whose support and example help shape the future of our College
Our students’ successes remain at the heart of what we do, and this year has been no exception Their academic accomplishments, engagement within the College, and contributions to the wider University continue to inspire us all. This year, 19 students achieved first class degrees, and Mansfielders once again featured prominently in University awards, winning 13 prizes. Notably, Shastikk Kumaran (Jurisprudence, 2021) was elected as an Examination Fellow at All Souls College – an exceptional academic distinction
Mansfield was also recognised on the global stage this year, receiving a Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Award for the For Mansfield. Forever. fundraising campaign, acknowledging its powerful design, clear messaging, and demonstrable impact
We remain profoundly grateful to our benefactors, especially alumnus Chris Foster (Maths, 1997), whose landmark gift continues to shape Mansfield’s future. This year, we were delighted to welcome him
and his family and friends to a special dinner at College, where he received his Bancroft Fellowship – the College’s highest philanthropic honour – and where we also unveiled our new Board of Benefactors.
Our academic fellowship continues to flourish Professor Ros Ballaster and Professor Alison Salvesen were elected to the British Academy – two of just eight Oxford academics honoured this year – in recognition of their outstanding scholarship in Eighteenth Century Literature and Early Hebrew scripture, respectively We also celebrated Dame Professor Jocelyn Bell Burnell’s appointment as a Companion of Honour in the King’s Birthday Honours 2025, acknowledging both her pioneering scientific work and her long-standing commitment to widening participation in science.
A significant milestone for the College this year has been the expansion of graduate scholarships Thanks to Chris Foster’s £4 7m gift - matched through the University’s Graduate Endowment Matched Scholarship (GEMS) scheme - we have established the Oxford-Foster Scholarships, creating our first fully funded cohort of graduate scholarships in the Humanities and Politics
Across the College, this has been a year of looking forward as much as celebrating. Our community has been engaged in the series of consultations on the Estate Transformation Project (ETP) These
conversations – thoughtful, challenging, and imaginative - are helping us shape a redevelopment that is worthy of Mansfield’s future.
Culturally, too, the College has continued to thrive We launched a new programme of professional classical concerts, bringing world-class performance to Mansfield. Our first Schwarzman Cultural Fellow, artist Travis Alabanza, hosted our Very Queer Formal, a joyous celebration of identity, creativity, and community – everything Mansfield stands for. Our students also staged a production of As You Like It in the College gardens, bringing Shakespeare to life with characteristic energy and imagination
Every one of these achievements reflects the values that have always defined us: openness, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to challenge - including challenging ourselves. Mansfield remains a place where ideas are tested, differences are respected, and community is created through shared purpose In a world that feels ever more fractured, these principles matter deeply.
It remains the greatest privilege to serve as Principal of our small but mighty College. I look forward to all that the coming year will bring

It has been an exceptionally busy and exciting year at Mansfield, and we have made considerable progress in several areas In December 2024, we concluded the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stage 2: Concept Design of the Estate Transformation Project, and in January 2025, Governing Body (GB) voted to progress to RIBA Stage 3: Technical Design
Working with development advisers, Stories, and appointed architects, Feilden Fowles, we planned and completed six pre-application meetings with the Oxford City Council planners. The College submitted an application for planning permission in November 2025 Looking ahead over the next few months, we are focusing on the design, planning, delivery strategy, and decant strategy, continuing our consultative approach to the project.
During the year, business-as-usual continued through several committees:
The Finance and Resources Committee: financial reporting; financial and resources management; development and alumni relations; Human Resources; IT; health and safety; maintenance.
The Remuneration Committee: advising on the salaries and benefits for employees within the College who also serve as trustees
The Estate Development Sub-Committee: for the Estate Transformation Project
The Joint Consultative Committee: meeting with student representatives and academics, administrative and operational staff to discuss emerging issues.
The Environment Sustainability Working Group brings staff and students together to support our sustainability goals. We’re delighted that Mansfield has achieved Gold accreditation with Green Impact
Green Impact is an award-winning programme that helps staff and students take practical steps to improve sustainability in their building, department or college This fantastic achievement was driven by Sophie Williams (Geography, 2023), JCR Environment & Ethics rep; Clara Cecil (MSc Sustainability, Enterprise & the Environment, 2024), MCR Environment & Ethics rep; and the Colleges Sustainability Officer, Jillian Mowbray
As part of the College’s Governance Working Group review, we established an Audit and Risk Committee. GB approved the nominations of six external members, and an inaugural meeting took place on Friday 4 April 2025, and two subsequent meetings have been held since then.
The Committee reviews and reports to GB annually on the adequacy of the College’s systems for governance, management controls, and risk management
In its work, it reviews the comprehensiveness of assurances, assessing the reliability and integrity of those assurances; monitors the relationship with the external auditor; approves the internal audit plan; considers audit reports, ensuring that it understands from management how such findings are being addressed; and reviews the annual external audit of the annual report and accounts.
Development Director’s report
Tess McCormick
This year has been one of significant progress for Mansfield’s Development team, with important advances across all areas of fundraising and alumni engagement. The most notable development was a major gift from Chris Foster (Maths, 1997) of £4.7m, together with match-funding through the University’s Graduate Endowment Matched Scholarship (GEMS) scheme, establishing the Oxford-Foster Scholarships.
These fully endowed graduate scholarships will support up to five Humanities students at any one time, beginning with the first cohort in the 2026/27 academic year This gift represents a landmark moment in Mansfield’s mission to widen access and ensure that financial barriers do not prevent talented students from pursuing their studies at the graduate level
The For Mansfield Forever campaign has also reached a significant milestone, with funds raised now standing at £52 2 million This figure reflects gifts and pledges across the campaign’s three pillars – People, Place, and Culture – as well as unrestricted gifts We were proud that the campaign received
international recognition this year, winning both a Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Global award and a CASE Europe Award for its impact and for Mansfield’s leadership in widening participation at Oxford
Within the People pillar, Mansfield is delighted to have endowed a second Fellowship in Mathematics, thanks to the generosity of Anthony Dewell (Maths, 2002), supported by matched funding from the College Contribution Scheme. This marks the first subject at Mansfield to benefit from two endowed Fellowships.
The Place pillar – focused on the College’s ambitious estate transformation – has now secured £12 5 million towards a £20 million target. This once-in-a-generation project, scheduled to begin in 2026, will transform the College site, and provide outstanding
new facilities for teaching, research, and student life We are deeply grateful to the alumni and friends whose early support has brought us this far. Securing the remaining funds for this transformation remains a top priority for the coming year.
Our regular giving programme has also seen notable successes The annual telethon, delivered by 13 student callers, raised more than £78,000 – our strongest result of recent years. Membership of the 1886 Circle, which recognises leadershiplevel annual giving, has grown by 14%, with younger alumni particularly engaged Legacy giving remains a vital element of Mansfield’s long-term funding, with pledges continuing to build.
This year also saw the launch of Mansfield Lives, a digital archive of alumni memories that already includes more than 160
We are so grateful to all alumni and friends who have supported Mansfield this year, thanks to whom the College continues to thrive. Their support – whether through major gifts, ongoing donations, legacy pledges, or active participation in the life of the College – plays a crucial role in sustaining Mansfield’s mission, and securing its future. contributions The project is a powerful way to capture the lived history of the College ahead of the significant changes the estate transformation will bring. Alumni relations activity has been extensive, with a busy calendar of lectures, Gaudies, and social events at Mansfield, in London, and internationally Engagement with our communications remains strong, with open rates for the College’s monthly enewsletters among the highest across Oxford

Senior Tutor’s report
Dr Helen Lacey
The academic year 2024/25 has been my first as Senior Tutor and one of my main goals has been to learn from my predecessor, Lucinda Rumsey MBE (from 2008-2024), who did so much to champion widening participation at Mansfield Lucinda, Helen Brooks (Registrar) and the Academic Office team have achieved so much in this field that I thought it right to nominate them for a Vice-Chancellor’s Award. The shortlisting took place in March, and I am very proud to say that we were one of six teams to be shortlisted, in our case for Widening Student Access and Outreach. Although we did not take the top overall prize, being shortlisted was a real recognition of the contribution that Mansfield has made to the University of Oxford, surpassing the targets set in the University’s Access and Participation Plan, and increasing the proportion of successful applicants to Oxford from under-represented groups
This first year as Senior Tutor has also impressed on me the talents and hard work that our students bring to their studies. We see this when finals results are announced in the summer, but also before that, in dark November days when students are working away on essays in the library or returning to College after a full day in the labs I am also so pleased to see how our students support each other and get along as a real academic community They bring their enthusiasm to a wide array of extracurricular activities too, with plays, poetry readings, sports and choir all adding to the enriching environment of the College.
After strong results in the 2023/24 academic year, it is pleasing to report that Mansfield’s results have remained high this year, with 19 first class degrees and seven distinctions in
integrated masters in total Four of these were in Theology & Religion, four in Maths, three in English, and two each in Geography, History, Materials, Maths & Stats, PPE and Physics (including Mathematical & Theoretical Physics), and one each in Engineering, Human Sciences and Law.
Mansfield students scooped several of the top university prizes: the Gibbs Prize for best performance in written examinations in Geography and Herbertson Prize for best human geography dissertation in geography; Gibbs proxime accessit for Law and Faculty Prize for Law, Gibbs Prize for Maths & Statistics, Physics Prize for practical work, Maths Prize for Part B and Maths Prelims Exam Prize
In the next academic year we look forward to welcoming several new fellows: Inbar Levy, Tutorial Fellow in Law; Mark McInroy, Associate Professor in Contemporary and Systemic Theology; and Christopher Pulte, Tutorial Fellow in Computer Science. Our first cohort of Computer Science students will arrive, and it will be exciting to add this new subject to Mansfield’s repertoire Our academics continue their world-leading research, with Professor Ros Ballaster and Professor Alison Salvesen elected Fellows of the British Academy.
Mansfield students continue to excel, and our tutors continue to help them to reach their potential
Tutor for Graduates’ report
Dr Chris Salamone
In the 2024/25 academic year, we were very pleased to welcome 97 new students into Mansfield’s thriving graduate community Once again, our course offerings increased to reflect the growing and diverse academic expertise within the College Mansfield gained its first postgraduate students in Computer Science (MSc Advanced Computer Science), who lead the way before our undergraduates in this subject arrive for 2025/26. We also expanded our course offerings for students taking degrees at Oxford’s Department of Education: opening up to students pursuing the DPhil in Education and an MSc in Higher Education, we hope to foster connections between the College’s outstanding, data-driven access work and cutting-edge postgraduate research
Our determination to provide more funding opportunities for talented students wishing to undertake graduate degrees continued at pace this year The inaugural recipient of Mansfield’s new Jon Blanchard Scholarship arrived to embark on the MSt in English (1830-1914). With generous donor support and in partnership with the Faculty of English, this Scholarship provides full funding for a postgraduate taking any one-year post-1550 MSt strand in English We are delighted to offer this opportunity established by Philip Bignell in memory of his partner and our alumnus, the late Jon Blanchard (English, 1972) With financial support from the Council of Lutheran Churches and through the generosity of our donors, Mansfield also partnered with the University’s Graduate Scholarships for Ukraine scheme. Together with a co-funded Mastercard Foundation AfOx Sanctuary Scholarship, these awards are a vital part of Mansfield’s commitment
to nurturing a culture of inclusivity for those seeking sanctuary and further academic study at Oxford In total, with support from donors, partner organisations and the University’s College Contribution Scheme 7 (CCS7) match-funding scheme, Mansfield helped fund 18 new graduates in this academic year And with much excitement, thanks to support from alumnus and Bancroft Fellow, Chris Foster (Maths, 1997), we lay the groundwork for what will be a major new, endowed suite of graduate awards at Mansfield, the Oxford-Foster Scholarships These will focus on five areas of the Humanities that have now sadly experienced significant cuts in the levels of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding available for graduates: English, History, Theology, Philosophy, and Politics The Oxford-Foster Scholarships will fully fund a graduate in each one of these subjects, with the first awardees joining us in 2026/27. Being the first endowed full-funding scholarships at Mansfield, it is a landmark moment in the graduate landscape at the College. A huge thanks to the alumni and supporters who are enabling us to create these new graduate funding opportunities to attract and enable brilliant students to further their study at Mansfield
This report is also a chance to reflect on and celebrate the academic achievements of our postgraduate students, 77 of whom successfully completed their degrees across 41 subjects. We were thrilled, for
example, to see a Mansfield postgraduate awarded the BCL Law Faculty Prize in International Environmental Law
A total of 21 doctoral students completed their DPhils across 11 subjects this year from English and Theology to Engineering and Theoretical Physics a testament to the vibrant research culture in College and the breadth of subject expertise within our graduate community. Each termly DPhil Dinner, at which recently completed DPhil graduates are invited to High Table for the SCR so we can congratulate them on their achievements, was warmly attended and a night of celebration.
While the DPhil Dinner celebrates the result of many years of study, Mansfield’s termly MCR/SCR Michael Mahony Seminar showcases the research of our doctoral students at an earlier stage in their academic journey, and gives our Fellows, too, a moment to share with us their own research projects This year, the Mahony Seminars gave a forum in which we heard fascinating papers from the following DPhil students and SCR members:
Michaelmas term 2024
Richard Foster (DPhil Politics, 2023):
‘Between Fact and Fiction: How can stories improve our politics?’
Dr Ayoush Lazikani (Lecturer in English):
‘Affective Meditation Without Borders’
Hilary term 2025
Interdisciplinary Human Rights
‘Lightning’ Talks (ten speakers), in collaboration with the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights
Trinity term 2025
A huge thanks to those who gave papers and to the graduates and tutors who joined us in the Auditorium on each occasion The Hilary term Michael Mahony seminar was particularly noteworthy for its ambition and scope, drawing together ten speakers from the MCR and SCR, in subjects across all divisions, whose research intersects with pressing human rights issues and questions The quickfire format of five-minute papers and the breadth of subjects brought into focus interesting crossovers within our unifying theme, moving between matters of law, politics, and human geography, to developments in renewable and environmental technology, and historical approaches to equality and community. The event was just another reminder of the synergies and connections that flourish within Mansfield’s academic community

Visiting Student Programme report
I was delighted to take on responsibility for Mansfield College’s prestigious Visiting Student Programme (VSP) last summer, following its handover from our new Senior Tutor, Dr Helen Lacey. This year, 42 visiting students joined our College community, and they have flourished academically - excelling in subjects including English, Geography, History, Human Sciences, PPE, and Theology
The year began with a Welcome Dinner held in our Chapel, during which the students were encouraged to make the most of every opportunity Oxford offers. The students responded to this call with vigour: they organised ‘watch parties’ in the JCR for the US Presidential Election and the Super Bowl, they took part in events to mark Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year, and they performed in the annual ‘Mansfieldmas’ celebration – one student recited a poem they had written, while another performed a rendition of Joni Mitchell’s soulful ‘River’. The students also took part in Shakespeare Play-Reading evenings and became valued members of sports teams. As the academic year drew to a close, they tried their hands at punting, organised picnics, and played croquet We celebrated their time in Oxford with a farewell reception, during which the students shared their exciting travel plans for the summer, and their aspirations for the rest of their academic and professional careers It was a pleasure getting to know each of them, and I wish them every success moving forward.
Dr Grace Heaton Programme Director
This year I also had the pleasure of meeting representatives from our partner organisations in the US and other organisations that we work closely with to recruit talented students that wish to study at the University of Oxford As the new academic year approaches, I look forward to welcoming the class of 2025/26 who will join us from:
Bates College, Boston College, Boston University, Brown University, College of the Holy Cross, Colorado College, Cornell University, DePauw University, Dickinson College, Harvard University, Haverford College, Lehigh University, Santa Clara University, School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-Sen University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Trinity College of Connecticut, University of Iowa, Washington and Lee University, Wellesley College, Wheaton College, and William Jewell College

Access and outreach report
Sarah Large, McBain Senior Access Officer
The 2024/25 academic year has been busy with us introducing new programmes and events, while continuing our existing provision Our residentials for Yorkshire & the Humber continued for a third year, giving 48 students the chance to take part in an academic programme while experiencing student life at Mansfield. We expanded our work with our link schools, hosting multiple Year 10 conferences The conferences gave students an introduction to Oxford, information about A-Level subject choices, student finance, and a chance to stretch their thinking beyond the curriculum.
157 outreach events
5,000+ students engaged
Over the past year, we have embarked on a collaboration with Become, the national charity that supports young people who have experienced the care system We have delivered three webinars with them to give care-experienced students the information they need to make a competitive application to Oxford, knowledge about the support they can receive, and to encourage them to aim high
In addition to our work with Become, we hosted a visit to Mansfield for careexperienced students from south London in collaboration with London Virtual Schools (responsible for supporting careexperienced children and young people in education).
The visit effectively helped to break down barriers by challenging the negative perceptions that some care-experienced students hold about their ability/potential to progress to university The session with current students was very inspiring and our young people reported that this was one of the key things that helped them to see that they CAN achieve!
Staff member on virtual school visit
Subject specific outreach has been a major focus for us this year. It gives students a real taste of what studying the subject at university is like, which helps them feel secure in their subject choice, and allows them to develop subject-specific skills that are essential for the application process.

In collaboration with St Anne’s and St Catherine’s Colleges, we have delivered an online series for women and non-binary students interested in studying STEM at university. This involved a launch session with admissions guidance and subsequent subject sessions giving a comprehensive overview of each of the STEM courses offered at Oxford Attendees had the chance to hear more about the course, take part in a short academic taster session, and pose questions to current undergraduate students We also delivered an in-person event at Mansfield to complement this series.
Working together with Mansfield’s wonderful history tutors, we hosted a History Study Day focused on the theme ‘Politics and Protest’. The highlights of the day were the academic sessions led by our tutors, which covered: popular culture and the Chartist movement, the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, ‘revolting women’ of the 1970s-1990s, and petitioning as protest in pre-Civil War London. We hope to continue hosting study days for prospective students to empower and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to make a competitive application, while showcasing the expertise of our subject tutors and the academic community here at Mansfield.
Before these courses I didn't feel confident applying to STEM in such a prestigious university, but this course broke down the stigma and made it feel worth applying! Thank you
As I am writing this, we are preparing to welcome a new staff member to the Access Team which will enable us to expand our outreach work I am particularly looking forward to expanding our digital outreach to widen our reach beyond our in-person events. We will focus on creating relatable and insightful content from current students, as well as engaging academic content and admissions guidance with the help of our tutors. Our aim is for prospective students to feel supported and well-informed and, by centring student voice in our work, see themselves represented at Mansfield

Library report
Clare Kavanagh, Librarian
The year began on a high note as we welcomed over 500 visitors to the Main Library and other areas of the College as part of Oxford Open Doors in September The event provides the ideal opportunity to get the libraries to look their best in preparation for welcoming the freshers and returning students. This included a deep clean of the books and shelves along with the creation of a fascinating of recently conserved items from the special
s treasures: a beautifully illustrated William Tyndale inductions were again very well attended, helped ook gift for the new undergraduates.
We are always looking to improve the library as a study space and resource, and this year we have added more assistive equipment - including two comfortable armchairs, stress balls, monitors as second screens and, most importantly, red blankets for the chilly weather! The contemporary fiction, study skills and wellbeing book collections have also expanded, and there have been some excellent verses composed on the poetry board. We have communicated much of this via our new Instagram account (@mansfieldcollegelibrary), so give us a follow!
Top ten most borrowed books
Library arm chair
Books written by alumni included Give it a Grow by Martha Swales (Human Sciences, 2007) which we celebrated with a pop-up seed library giveaway, and mathematics books purchased by a donation from alum Anthony Dewell (Maths, 2002). And writing of donations, we are currently working through the substantial personal library and papers (65 large boxes!) of former Principal David Marquand, with the invaluable assistance of graduate student Liz Wan (DPhil English, 2022) We have uncovered several hidden gems, including letters written to and from the Prime Minister, James Ramsay MacDonald, and some excellent books to add to our collection. Books not added will be offered to Mansfield staff and students, with any left sent onto Better World Books
Our vibrant themed book displays are always well received, and this year has been no exception. They have included Black History Month, UK Disability History Month, LGBTQ+ History Month, Neurodiversity Celebration week, and Pride Month, and various literary prize short lists. Currently on display around the Main Library is poetry from the students our Writer in Residence, Kate Clancy, works with at Ethnic Minority Business Service (EMBS), and we were delighted to host them for readings on World Poetry Day.
Our volunteer antiquarian cataloguer, Naomi van Loo, has finished cataloguing our special collection, now searchable on SOLO. This has resulted in several volumes being consulted by external and internal researchers, and we hope to promote greater use by Mansfield students in the future too This was encouraged by Vice-Principal and English Fellow Professor Ros Ballaster, whose students from her 18thcentury book course examined examples from the collection The archive collection has also been in regular use, including a visit from residents of Fairbairn Hall in London - the former site of the Mansfield House University Settlement. They are keen to collaborate on a permanent exhibition there, exploring the historic links between Mansfield College and the Settlement, founded on values that continue to shape us today: accessibility, equality, and inclusivity.

JCR report
Sebastian Coxon Vadillo (Engineering Science, 2023), JCR President
The 2024/25 JCR events have followed a similar structure to previous years The main elements are two BOPs (weeks 0 and 7), two Champagne and Chocolates (C&Cs, weeks 1 and 6) and welfare week in week 5 every term. These events have become fixtures because of their unique character - from C&Cs to the ever-popular Cakes and Compliments during welfare week - bringing Mansfield students together and even drawing in students from other colleges who want to experience our community for themselves.
Mansfield’s JCR Bench has three Entertainment Officers (ENTZ) who often prioritise organising events that include alcohol, while the Welfare Bench runs plenty of activities without alcohol. The ENTZ organise music, decorations, and in-College venues for each of the BOPs and C&Cs Collaborating with other college ENTZ, they also provide tickets to mega BOPs (multicollege exclusive nights out) which allows Mansfield students to mix with students
from other colleges in a safe environment Most of these events were well received, however, the second BOP of the term is usually less popular as there are many other end of term events happening at the same time.
Within the JCR Bench is the ‘Welfare Bench’ which includes all representative officers led by the Vice President of Welfare Each member of the Bench is expected to run one event a term, allowing for a diverse range of accessible events that fill the term and ensure all groups feel included. A drawback of this system is that when a representative role isn’t filled, the community it’s meant to support can end up overlooked
Examples of well-received events include the International Women’s Day postcarddecorating session and Super Bowl watch party. In addition, each fifth week of term features a welfare event, with the longstanding favourites being Cakes and Compliments and Cookie Fairy The Welfare Bench helps us to uphold our commitment to access, inclusivity, and student wellbeing, giving all students a chance to take a break from their studies in a fun and welcoming space.
All of the events are promoted through weekly mailouts, as well as the JCR and ENTZ Instagram accounts and Facebook, ensuring they reach the full student community.

MCR report
Alec Xu (DPhil Engineering Science, 2022), MCR President
In 2024/25, Mansfield College continued to build a strong MCR community, welcoming students from 24 countries, studying subjects as diverse and multi-faceted as 18th century Anglo-Italian espionage, to optical microscopy, to the nature of animal souls. Over this period, our MCR members found a home in the College, winding down their intensive academic work with a weekly wine and cheese and welfare tea We also hosted breakfast bootcamps, creating a focused environment where MCR members could make progress on their thesis writing together We also continued our strong tradition of jointly hosted MCR-SCR dinners, allowing our members to fully engage with the wide range of academic interests represented at College. Many also became avid members of the College Choir and weekly life drawing sessions, allowing their artistic talent to flourish
Diversity and Welfare continue to be strong focus points of the MCR, with queer and Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) brunches dotting our already busy schedule To allow our members to flourish to the fullest, we also piloted the introduction of a welfare fund and a small projects fund, giving our members some support to achieve their extracurricular pursuits
This year, we also found a home in the fabric of the broader university community. Whether it
be hosting Magdalen College at one of our 18 formal exchange dinners this year, joining Jesus College at a Halloween-themed BOP, or advocating alongside Somerville College against college disparities at the Conference of Common Rooms, the Mansfield MCR has worked hard to reach out and integrate itself with the Oxford community at large.
Additionally, we also expanded our horizons beyond College, beginning our freshers’ week with a tour of the Ashmolean as well as a historic walk through the town itself We also expanded our horizons outside of Oxford leading our members on a meandering walk through the Cotswolds. We brought our members on a gruelling eight-hour hike, before finally relaxing for a pint down by Lower Slaughter
We were quick to celebrate the end of the year with the annual boat party, and said goodbye to our graduating students on a cruise down the Isis. The MCR also continued the tradition of a tight-knit community and looks forward to welcoming our new members of the 2025/26 academic year
Sports round up

Science, 2023)
For women’s football, Wertonfield (Wadham, Merton, and Mansfield teams merged) finished second in the top league and made it to the Cupper’s final. Their numbers have grown from 12 to 25 this year, thanks to funding which helped them rebuild and expand
The men’s football teams fielded two sides this year: the 2s finished as runners-up of their league, and the 1s beat Hughdam (St Hugh’s and Wadham Colleges), who had knocked them out the last three years - great moment for the team The men’s and women’s squads also came together for the first-ever M’s alumni day (M’s being the Mansfield-Merton combination), showing strong social growth and closer links between the two sides.
For cricket, Mansfield-Merton Cricket Club was knocked out in the first round of Cuppers However, the team won four out of five league games, including a victory over New College, who went on to win both the Cuppers and the league Despite a very competitive season, we did not progress to the next round
For netball, the Mansfield club has seen tremendous growth this year, finishing second in the mixed league Funding allowed them to purchase bibs, balls, and shirts, a huge step up from starting the year using a football and borrowing bibs from Hertford College for every match
Although knocked out of Cuppers early, the team reached the final of the plate. While usually joined with Merton, they combined with Balliol and University colleges in Trinity term, with discussions underway about continuing this partnership as the latter two teams were short on numbers. The club also hosted a great alumni game and dinner in Hilary term!
The men’s rugby is merged with St Catherine’s, Corpus Christi, Somerville, and Merton colleges The team won the plate and went on to win the main cup competition in Rugby 7s Cuppers The structure is shifting next year, with plans to join Keble College for league games. We hope to attract new players to maintain a strong squad moving forward

In its 60th anniversary year, Mansfield College Boat Club (MCBC) had a brilliant year, and it has been an honour to be the President of such a vibrant club It has been a great year for recruitment and involvement in the sport Despite the tricky river conditions throughout Michaelmas and Hilary, we welcomed many new novice athletes to the club, who filled four seats in the W1 and five seats in the O1 in the Summer VIIIs! The success of all our novices is a testament to their hard work and dedication, not to mention the hard work of the captains and coaches throughout the year.
For many members, the highlight of the year was our training camp at Ely over the Easter break, generously supported by Chris Foster (Maths, 1997), making it accessible for everyone The camp was a roaring success with beautiful sunshine, and a full men’s and women’s boat taking to the 7km stretch of river Staying in Cambridge with the whole squad was great fun; hopefully this tradition can carry on to even bigger things in future years. In addition to this camp, we also had several away days in Swindon throughout Hilary term, vital for training our novices when
river conditions were poor. In Michaelmas this year, we were lucky to be able to purchase a brand new W2 shell, correctly weighted for women, which was very generously supported by Anthony Dewell (Maths, 2002). In addition, I would like to extend our gratitude to Antonio Bonchristiano (PPE, 1984) for his continued support funding coaching, and Chris Foster for his commitment to funding our training camp and future Head Coach position, making the club more accessible to all
In April, MCBC’s Imogen Boxall (Human Sciences, 2022) was selected to represent the University in Osiris in the Boat Race, an inspiration to many members of the club I wish all future trialists from Mansfield similar success! In addition, in May, MCBC alumni and former coach Martha Birtles (English, 2018) won gold for GB in the European rowing championships in Plovdiv, an incredible achievement The culmination of a year of hard work was, as always, Summer VIIIs. This year, the O2 had the
MCBC Summer VIIIs - Celebrating 60 years on Saturday 31 May
best performance, being only one day away from blades and going +3 on the river, which was their largest increase since the blades winning crew of 2016. After a hiccup with the cannon firing early, the W2 were declared ‘non-persons’ by Oxford University Rowing Clubs but it didn’t stop them from bumping on day two, and avoiding spoons The O1 maintained its position near the top of Division 3, conceding just one bump to St Peter’s College. The W1 also avoided spoons
with a valiant row over on the final day –maintaining a solid position in Division 2. We welcomed many alumni to College for the 60th anniversary dinner, which was a lovely evening of sharing memories of the club, both new and old.
I cannot wait to see the club go from strength to strength over the coming years, with the hiring of our new Head Coach position, and in the capable hands of our new committee!

Music at Mansfield Concert
Arts and Culture Report
James Brown, Director of Music
The musical year at Mansfield began with a Newcomers Concert in November, showcasing some of the solo talent in the new intake of students In Michaelmas term we also hosted the choir of Harris Manchester College at two of our Wednesday chapel services while their Chapel was closed for restoration, and we much enjoyed combining the two choirs The choir sang grace at the dinner in honour of Chris Foster (Maths, 1997), the principal donor in November, and then the end of term saw in quick succession the fifth annual Mansfieldmas celebration, and the carol service, both enjoyed by a packed Chapel
Hilary term saw the launch of a new termly professional concert series called ‘Music at Mansfield’, with the inaugural concert featuring a programme of French music for flute performed by Simon Kelly This series of three concerts a year has been made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor and Jan Fischer (PPE, 1989), and was followed in May by the second in the series - a programme of ‘Shakespeare in Song’ by soprano and harpist Eloise Irving, at which the sopranos and altos of the Mansfield choir also performed a number with Eloise. On Ash Wednesday, the choir combined with the choirs of Corpus Christi College and Lady Margaret Hall for a joint Eucharist at Corpus Christi College
In March we were very sorry to say goodbye to Chaplain Nathan Mulcock who moved on to a position at Birmingham Cathedral. Nathan was a much loved and popular figure in the College,
whose warmth will be much missed. Trinity term brought with it our new Chaplain Nathan Eddy, who has already settled in well and we look forward greatly to the future with him. As usual, Chapel worship in 2024-25 featured a range of themes and guest preachers, including Bible scholar Professor John Barton, and many more
Also, in the summer term we had our leavers concert, a concert by SCR members, and a piano recital by leaving student Alice Tsang (VSP: Economics, 2024) who dazzled those who had heard her at various concerts this year as well as at this outstanding final recital The choir also sang another joint service with Harris Manchester choir, this time at their newly restored Chapel, and the year was rounded off by the leavers service at which we were able to thank choir members in particular for their valued contribution to the choir
I would like to thank all who make music at Mansfield and those who support them by attending what we put on To Music Society presidents, to George Caird for his excellent work with the College wind ensemble, to our organist, and both Chaplains this past year, much thanks is due
Supporting students
Rachel O’Nunain, Academic Support Tutor
The Mansfield community continued to enjoy a wide variety of academic support events this academic year Enticed by the promise of free food, students made the most of several initiatives designed to aid productivity and foster a sense of academic community. The ‘Postgraduate Writing Bootcamp’, in which students enjoy a breakfast together before settling down to write for the morning, has become a mainstay of the MCR community
There have also been a variety of breakfast clubs for STEM students in which the students and their subject mentor meet before heading out to the day’s lectures ‘Shut-Up and Focus’ also proved popular, with a number of dedicated attendees, especially among the visiting student community.
Alongside opportunities to connect with their peers, students were also supported to develop their academic skills The Tutor for Academic Support, postgraduate subject mentors, and Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellow Anjali Joseph were all available throughout the year for individual meetings with students There was also an extensive programme of academic support workshops running throughout the year, ranging from academic skills induction for incoming freshers to revision advice sessions for battle-hardened finalists.
Sarah Beattie, Welfare and Wellbeing Lead
This year’s welfare and wellbeing can be summed up in three words: communicating, responding, and reconciling We began the year by nurturing a student community grounded in compassion - a challenging but essential task for a college committed to sanctuary. While the academic demands on our students remain constant, our wellbeing provision ensures that every student has their voice heard and their concerns addressed
Part of this work has involved reflecting honestly on areas where we can do better We invited students to share their experiences of loneliness at College, recognising that loneliness often stems from unmet needs Through this insight, we aim to understand our community more fully and to respond more effectively to the factors that underlie isolation.
This year we also consulted with The Mint House, an Oxford-based charity supporting educational institutions in adopting restorative practices This collaborationalongside initiatives such as Listening Circles - is helping us review and strengthen how we communicate. In addition to our core activities, we introduced new wellbeing initiatives, including coding for relaxation sessions and wildflower arranging, which were warmly received.
These initiatives reflect a year of growthlistening to students, responding with care, and strengthening our sense of community. Our priority is helping every student thrive academically while feeling supported.
MCAA report

Bonavero Institute of Human Rights report
Catherine O’Regan, BIHR Director
The past year has been profoundly challenging for human rights globally. Conflicts such as the devastating situation in Gaza and the ongoing war in Ukraine, coupled with declining democratic and human rights indices and the rise of populist leaders hostile to international norms, have created an alarming landscape. In such times, hope can feel elusive. Reflecting on this, Nelson Mandela’s words to Albertina Sisulu in 1970 resonate deeply: ‘Hope is a powerful weapon even when nothing else may remain.’ Despite the darkness of apartheid, hope fueled decades of activism that ultimately led to South Africa’s democratic transition - an imperfect but inspiring reminder that, as Seamus Heaney wrote, ‘hope and history rhyme.’
Against this backdrop, the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights has continued its mission, guided by five strategic goals First, Building a Community of Scholars: the Institute hosted 16 research visitors, two early career fellows, and 23 graduate research residents. Second, Fostering collaborative world-class research: work focused on two themeshuman rights frontiers and human rights actors; institutions and processes Several major projects were undertaken, including studies on modern slavery, artificial intelligence in employment, digital rights, climate litigation, sovereignty in South Asia, and European human rights law
Third, Enriching student exposure to human rights: initiatives included a Summer School with GWU, the Monroe E Price Media Law Moot Court, global internships with leading
organisations such as Amnesty International and the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and legal aid clinics for prisoners at risk of deportation. The Bonavero Graduate Research Forum also provided a platform for scholarly exchange
Fourth, Capacity building for early career scholars and practitioners: the Institute partnered with the Symposium on Strength and Solidarity for Human Rights, developed training materials, and hosted webinars on international human rights litigation Weekly Bonavero Perspectives workshops further strengthened academic engagement.
Finally, Fostering public understanding of human rights: through lectures, panels, and roundtables, including the Eric Barendt Annual Media Law Lecture and a workshop on democratic backsliding, the Institute promoted dialogue on pressing global issues.
As I write this final report, I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to lead the Institute as its first Director and to have worked alongside such a committed community In the 2025/26 academic year, I pass the reins to Professor Rachel Murray, whose academic leadership and thoughtful approach position the Institute well for its continued development I am confident that it will thrive under her direction
Thank you, Mansfield College, for providing such a strong and supportive institutional home for both the Institute and me.
