for the financial period of 1st August 2024 - 31st July 2025
Principal’s Welcome
Coming back to Somerville as Principal, having been a student here in the 1980s, I have inevitably been reflecting on the College then and now.
There are some obvious differences. For starters, there were no men in College in my day (at least, not officially).
The other big difference is that Somerville’s finances in the 1980s were precarious – something we knew held true for all the women’s colleges, although I’m not sure we really understood just how hand to mouth things were.
Today, thanks to the vision and hard work of many, Somerville’s financial outlook is very different. The College’s endowment now stands at £106m, double what it was 10 years ago, placing Somerville firmly in the rankings alongside much older, more established colleges.
True to Somerville’s values and ethos, that financial security is being used to fulfil the objectives of Somerville’s earliest founders. Last year, we were able to allocate £300k in bursaries (reaching 22% of students), with a further £240k awarded in scholarships and prizes, and £600k diverted to support our graduates’ essential living and study costs. In short, Somerville today is able to ensure that
financial hardship is never a barrier to excellent students realising their academic potential, and that is a source of pride for all of us.
And yet, the harsh financial environment in which all higher education institutions operate means that there is a permanent funding gap. In Somerville’s case, the income we receive from our students’ fees covers only half what it costs for us to tutor and accommodate them.
If we are to continue to include the excluded, and to offer first-class education and research opportunities that will benefit not only our College, but the wider world, we need to continue to work together to build our resources even further. As you will see in this Report, that calls for a great deal of hard work, shrewd financial management and collaboration.
Over the coming months, I will be learning more about College finances and activities to determine how best I can, with your help, support and serve Somerville’s needs during my tenure. In the meantime, I hope you will agree with me that, despite the many challenges we face, our College is headed in the right direction. Thank you all for your continued support.

Development Director’s Report
SARA KALIM
As we look back on the past year, Somerville has much to celebrate – achievements that would not have been possible without the generosity and enduring commitment of you, our alumni and friends. As always, your support continues to preserve the unique spirit of our much-loved College.
This has been a year of transition as we bid farewell to Jan Royall, whose tenure as Principal has been marked by purpose, growth and success. One of Jan’s many contributions was to launch RISE, our latest and most ambitious fundraising campaign, and I am pleased to say that we are now almost two thirds of the way to completing our £50 million target, with almost £6 million raised this
year alone. Jan’s successor, Catherine Royle, will undoubtedly take this and many other projects forward with her unique energy and vision, and we greatly look forward to introducing her to Somervillians near and far.
A New Neighbour: The
Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities
This autumn marked the muchanticipated opening of the Stephen
A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. As the Centre’s nearest college neighbour, we are delighted to witness this landmark addition to Oxford’s landscape – a magnificent statement of the University’s belief in the centrality of the humanities to furthering human understanding, and a cause that remains close to Somerville’s history, heart and mission.
In the past year, Somerville’s humanities have been strengthened by several major philanthropic gifts. These gifts, often legacies, have enabled us to secure the future of vital disciplines and to support the scholars who keep the humanities alive and relevant in a changing world. From History and Classics to Music and English, the generosity of our community is helping to sustain teaching and research that foster empathy, creativity, and critical thought – the cornerstones of a civil society.

Renewal and Conservation on our Northern Perimeter
Somerville’s northern boundary has taken on new significance as it becomes the bridge to the University’s growing Humanities development. In response, we are planning a redesign and refresh of our buildings along this side of the College. These plans will include elegant new gates between Somerville and the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, and significant naming opportunities for donors wishing to make their mark on this expansion (see p19).
Our plans for developing the north face of Somerville began in style this September, as we broke ground on the Ratan Tata Building. We were honoured to be joined by Mr Natarajan Chandrasekaran, Chairman of the Tata Group, and Professor Irene Tracey, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford. Their presence underscored the depth of our global partnerships and begins the work on a building which will give the college much-needed teaching rooms and seminar space as well as a physical home for the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development.
Music and Meaning: Somerville College Choir Tours the US
Music continues to be a defining part of College life and is central to our community. This year, enabled by the
generosity of cherished American friends, the Somerville Choir embarked on an inspiring tour of the United States, performing in Texas and New York to a rapturous reception.
This commitment was powerfully expressed through our work this year on the Crisis Scholarships, created in partnership with the University as part of our College of Sanctuary status. This year’s scholarships support students from Gaza, offering them the chance to continue their studies in safety and with dignity. Our new scholar will join the seven other Sanctuary Scholars currently studying at Somerville (see p9).
Celebrating Our Community
This year’s calendar was filled with joyful moments that brought our community together. From Carol Concerts in Oxford and London to celebrations of Jane Austen in Lyme Regis, to anniversary events and reunions, we were reminded again of the importance of coming together.
In a polarised
world, Somerville stands firm in its mission
In New York, we met with alumnus Nicolas Geiger (2004, Engineering), whose vision and generosity have created a lasting legacy. Nicolas conceived a brilliant initiative to honour his former tutor, Professor Richard Stone, who retired in 2022, by leading on the funding for a graduate scholarship in his name (see p8).
Standing for Academic Freedom and Inclusion
In a polarised world, where democracies are under pressure and freedom of academic enquiry cannot be assumed, Somerville stands firm in its mission. We remain devoted to offering the brightest minds the opportunity to study, supported by the resources they need to thrive.
As Somerville continues to grow alongside the new quarter beside us, we thank our lead volunteers, the members of our Development Council, and our Campaign Board for their unswerving efforts. The generosity of all our donors ensures that this College remains a beacon for future generations – a place where ideas flourish, friendships endure, and academic excellence remains at the heart of human progress.
Thank you for your continued support in all that we do for Somerville.

Treasurer’s Report
ANDREW PARKER
In his final year as Treasurer, Andrew Parker joins us one last time to talk through the triumphs and challenges of another year in the Somerville College finances.
As we prepare our final accounts for 2024-25, it is clear that this has been another good year for Somerville. Our net assets increased by £10m from £238m to £248m, while our endowment grew by £7m, from £99m to £106m, reflecting good performances from both OUEM and Newton. In the year, we also received donations of £2.5m towards the Ratan Tata Building, and recognised the gift of a £1m flat on the Banbury Road.
Costs have been well controlled, and our income was on target. Unrestricted donations have been strong. This will flow through to the bottom line and help us fund additional capital expenditure.
Looking forward, 2025-26 is going to be tight. We need to find an additional £0.5m in capital expenditure to fund investment in our IT infrastructure, on top of the £0.5m already invested this year. Employee costs are another issue. For the past five years or so, we have been paying the Oxford Living
Wage. This has been the right thing to do, reflecting the high cost of living in Oxford, and hourly rates for our lower paid staff have increased by 40% in that period. However, the need to maintain differentials through the wage structure means that it has also been expensive.
Our payroll costs were further exacerbated by Rachel Reeves’ decision to lower the threshold for employers’ national insurance at the same time as increasing the rate. These changes will add an estimated £200k a year to our salary bill, and will particularly affect the cost of employing our lower paid staff. We will need to manage our payroll carefully in 2025-26.
On a more positive note, plans for our new Ratan Tata building are developing apace. Planning permission was granted in September with the enthusiastic endorsement of the council’s planning officers and good feedback from the public consultation. The main contractor has just been appointed, adding momentum as we continue to refine the finer details of design and logistical planning for what is a small and constrained site.
Construction is expected to start in March 2026, with the building delivered in May/June 2027. We have already secured £11m of the £13m required for this project, and further naming opportunities are available to those wishing to support this exciting
new chapter in Somerville history (see p19).
Another positive development is that we are now in the early stages of engagement with a governmentbacked company who are planning to build a heating network in Oxford that would supply sustainably heated water to university buildings and colleges, Oxford Brookes, and the hospitals by 2030. The water would be hot enough to run with our existing radiators, pipes and insulation, obviating the need to install air source heat pumps and expensively retrofit our buildings to improve thermo performance. The cost would be a fraction of the £45m we estimate it would cost to make our site zero carbon using air source heat pumps. As they say, there’s many a slip between cup and lip –but the enthusiastic involvement of twenty-five colleges, the University, the city and county councils, Brookes and the NHS makes this by far the most feasible route to decarbonising Somerville that we have yet seen.
Finally, after thirteen-and-a-half years in post, I will be retiring at the end of October 2026. I would like to thank all of you who have supported Somerville over my time so energetically. Somerville is blessed to have such an engaged and generous alumni base, and we could not have achieved what we have over my time without your support. Thank you.

The Richard Stone Scholarship in Engineering
It is rare that one person shapes the lives of many. One such person is Professor Richard Stone.
In 1993, Richard Stone was one of the first three men elected to Somerville’s governing body, alongside the physicist Roman Walczak and the philosopher James Logue. From that day until his retirement in 2022, Richard was a positive force at Somerville, guiding the studies and future careers of hundreds of Somerville engineers.
Students recall the brilliance of Richard’s teaching, but also his unspoken kindness. Whether it was the little parties he hosted at the end of each term or making special access arrangements for an exam due to illness, Richard was always there for his students.
Underpinning his prowess as a tutor was Richard’s intellectual curiosity. Generations of Somerville engineers benefited from knowing that their tutor not only wrote the textbook on the internal combustion engine, but subsequently rewrote it in line with his tireless search to find more efficient, less polluting propulsion systems.
This year, in collaboration with Richard’s former student, Nicolas Geiger (2004, Engineering Science), Somerville is leading a campaign to ensure Richard’s legacy continues at Somerville. From 2026, the Richard Stone Scholarship in Engineering Science will support doctoral researchers working on novel transportation and space exploration systems, in keeping with Richard’s research and that of his successor, Professor Konstantina Vogiatzaki.
Speaking of his wish to create the Richard Stone Scholarship, Nicolas Geiger commented: “Richard defined what is so special about an Oxford education,
and in particular the tutorial system. Without his patient encouragement and explanation, I could never have learned so much, so quickly.”
Asked for her thoughts, Somerville’s current Tutorial Fellow in Engineering, Professor Vogiatzaki, said: “This scholarship will support bright home students to engage in sustainability-focused research in honour of Professor Richard Stone. Most excitingly, it will provide a unique opportunity to leverage advanced computational approaches and data-driven techniques, enabling the next generation of engineers to push the boundaries in sustainable propulsion and aerospace innovation.”
Driven as ever by concern for his subject, Professor Stone commented: “Research scholarships are the seedcorn for research, for how else can there be future postdocs or academics? As the Research Councils continue to make selective cuts, scholarships like this one are vital in supporting the full breadth of research undertaken by the current Engineering Tutors at Somerville.”
Our sincere thanks to all who have so far supported this campaign. To help safeguard the future of Engineering at Somerville, please contact sara.kalim@some.ox.ac.uk

I Carry Sudan with Me
SOMERVILLE’S NEWEST SANCTUARY SCHOLARS
Since it began in 2023, the civil war between Sudan’s armed forces and paramilitary group the Rapid Support Services (RSF) has led to over 150,000 deaths and 12 million people being displaced. In the midst of violence and chaos, doctors and healthcare workers continue working to save lives. This year Somerville welcomed two Sanctuary Scholars from Sudan, Hadeel Abdelseid and Zainab Mohamed, who are already playing a part in these vital efforts.
Now flatmates and good friends, Hadeel and Zainab are both honing their respective training in medicine and healthcare policy, determined to create a better future for Sudan.
Smart Phones and Surgery on the Frontline
Dr. Hadeel Abdelseid is a Sudanese physician and Director of the Sudan ECHO Center of Excellence at SuDRO, a non-profit building sustainable communities in Sudan. Hadeel is reading for the MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine.
When the war erupted, my family was forced to leave our home with no destination, carrying little more than a few bags and our faith. We travelled between states, displaced again and again. Those weeks were defined by uncertainty, fear, and a quiet determination to survive.
The hospitals I worked in became both a sanctuary and a frontline. Gunfire echoed in the distance; casualties arrived in overwhelming numbers. Yet, even in the darkest moments, the strength of Sudanese communities shone through. I found renewed purpose collaborating with Project ECHO, an international tele-mentoring initiative that connects healthcare workers in crisis settings with global expertise.
With formal training disrupted, many of us relied on emergency protocols shared through smartphones to manage gunshot wounds and trauma cases. I learnt how to leverage what I have to thrive, sometimes wearing a garbage bag to protect myself while treating patients.
In the immediate aftermath of the conflict, we launched the Sudan Emergency ECHO Programme in just two weeks. This remarkable collective effort by displaced volunteers demonstrated how communities under immense pressure can still mobilise expertise, compassion, and organisational strength to support one another.
Through this programme, I helped deliver more than 45 critical care training sessions, reaching over 2,000 healthcare providers across Sudan, ensuring that even as education systems collapsed, frontline workers continued to learn, collaborate, and save lives.
The relentless pressure and danger took their toll, and I was diagnosed with depression and PTSD. At the time when I felt most lost, a close friend encouraged me to apply for a scholarship at Oxford. It seemed unimaginable: how could someone who had just escaped conflict find a place at one of the world’s leading universities? But I applied anyway, guided by faith more than confidence.
The acceptance letter arrived weeks later: a fully funded place at Oxford, to pursue an MSc in International Health and Tropical Medicine, affiliated to Somerville College. I cried with gratitude. Every hardship, every moment of fear, had led unexpectedly to this new beginning.
Today, I carry Sudan with me in every lecture and seminar room. My studies at Oxford are deeply connected to my commitment to global health equity, and I hope to return with the skills to rebuild, advocate, and strengthen healthcare systems scarred by conflict.

Health Technologies that Work for Sudan
Zainab Mohamed is a Biomedical Engineer studying for the MSc in Translational Health Sciences. She hopes to build on her work at the Social Security Investment Authority in Sudan, where she discovered a passion for linking healthcare, policy, and technology innovation.
When the war broke out again in Sudan, one of the first things the soldiers attacked was the hospitals. But even before the destruction, we were already facing a deep, structural problem in our healthcare system.
In 2022, I was working as a biomedical investigator, evaluating medical equipment across hospital sites. Everywhere I went, the pattern was the same. The government had invested in expensive medical machines imported from abroad, designed for countries with controlled climates and stable infrastructure. In Sudan, even before the machines were turned on, dust and heat had already compromised critical components.
Standing in rooms full of equipment that cost millions, but could not save a single life made something very clear to me: we cannot build a strong health system on technologies that were
Every hardship, every moment of fear, led to this new beginning
never designed with us in mind. That experience sparked my commitment to finding locally driven solutions that work for low-resource health systems, not around them.
I applied to Oxford because I want to address this problem at its root, and the MSc in Translational Health Sciences offered the perfect means to do so. An interdisciplinary course for healthcare professionals and policymakers, it teaches students how to influence the adoption of new healthcare technologies at every level.
For me personally, it offers the chance to learn why technologies fail in countries like Sudan, and how they can succeed when built locally, for local realities. Small design decisions – materials, filters, maintenance needs – determine whether a device survives months or fails in days. In our context, a single failing machine represents not just wasted money, but lives lost.
My goal is to help Sudan develop its own technology-transfer and innovation ecosystem. We currently lack our own regulatory pathways for translating biomedical ideas into usable health technologies. But I believe that our researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs have the creativity and expertise needed to change that, if we build the right structures around them.
I hope to contribute a roadmap for making this change possible: linking research, policy, and manufacturing so that the next generation of biomedical solutions in Sudan are sustainable, maintainable, and truly designed for the environments where they will be used.

Turning the Tide on Language Loss
Finch Ward (2024) is a second year French and Linguistics student whose academic background and exceptional performance in Prelims just earned him a life-changing Michael Bishop Foundation Thatcher Scholarship.
I grew up near Land’s End, overlooking the seas said to bury the lost kingdom of Lyonesse. And yet the Cornwall where I grew up was not just a place of ancient stories and rugged beauty, but of rural marginalisation and chronic educational under-funding. Working hard at school and as a lifeguard every summer, I never had time to think about the old stories, or the languages that brought them into my everyday reality.
All that started to change when I came across linguistics, initially through a school project led by a PhD student researching the death of the Cornish language. At the time, I didn’t know what linguistics was, and only felt intuitively that, somehow, this was important. My interest in languages bubbled under the surface until years later in French class, where I became fascinated by how cognates like castle and château had come to be pronounced so differently, despite their common origin. From there, I ended up down one internet rabbit hole after the next, leading me to historical linguistics and phonetics, and the realisation that linguistics was what I wanted to do.
Now I’m able to study the subject properly at Somerville, historical linguistics and phonetics remain two of my favourite branches. Since coming here, I’ve met speakers of Welsh, Irish and other Celtic languages, and have also loved studying the idiosyncrasies of these languages in seminars and tutorials, from consonant mutations to the lack of a specific verb for 'have' across most Celtic languages. For example, the phrase ‘I have a cat’ is rendered yma kath dhymm in Cornish –literally ‘there is a cat to me’.
Finch Ward at Somerville, November 2025
All this has made me reconnect with my Cornish roots. In Cornwall, the Celtic language can sometimes seem very far away. The last native speaker is said to be Dolly Pentreath, who died in 1777. Growing up, the only exposure I had to Cornish was the Kernow a’gas dynergh sign welcoming you back into the county. However, finding out more about the other Celtic languages fills me with hope that this does not have to be the universal fate for languages under threat. I’m even planning on learning Cornish itself, and am excited to see how much I’ll be able to converse with my Celticspeaking friends.
As I learn more about linguistics, it becomes increasingly obvious how imperative it is that we protect the world’s endangered languages: of the roughly 7,159 languages in the world, around 3,193 are at risk. Indeed, in 1992, the linguist Michael Krauss warned that if we do not reassess our priorities, linguistics will go down in history as the only science that let 90% of its field disappear under its nose. My studies have already taught me so much about the value of all language varieties, and I now want to do everything I can to turn the tide on mass language extinction.
For goals like this, the Michael Bishop Foundation Thatcher Scholarship is life-changing; it will mean I can go on to further study debt-free and pursue my dream to be a linguist. In
this career, I could work with local communities to preserve endangered languages, or study the effects of language policy on minority or marginalised languages, particularly in France, where the belief that every citizen should speak one homogenous language is unusually prevalent. This is to the detriment of the country’s minority and regional varieties, which until very recently were actively persecuted.
Breton is a fascinating example of this linguistic marginalisation. Today, Breton is the only Celtic language not officially recognised by a national government. And yet, Breton has a unique status as an Insular Celtic language, related not to the other Celtic languages found across Europe before the Roman conquest, but instead sharing a common ancestor
with Cornish and Welsh. Breton was in fact spoken in parts of Britain until the fifth century CE; for as long as Cornish was a living language, fishermen from both regions could have happily conversed together.
As a Thatcher Scholar, I can pursue my curiosity to its end
This summer I hope to go to Brittany to hear from locals and understand the far-reaching effects of the French government’s policy towards their language. I’m particularly interested in the ‘gap in transmission’, whereby the new generation of Breton schoolchildren speak markedly differently from their native-speaker great-grandparents, as the generations between had much less fluency. I hope to use what I learn about Breton in my future studies, and eventually work on protecting marginalised languages and dialects around the world.
Receiving the Michael Bishop Foundation Thatcher Scholarship has made globe-spanning plans like this possible, and I am extremely thankful to Lord Glendonbrook for his generosity. I will no longer have to work all summer, but can instead pursue my curiosity to its end.

Bringing it all back home
Professor Samantha Sebastian is Somerville’s Tutorial Fellow in Music. Here she reflects on how the endowment of her post through the legacy of Christian Carritt (1946, Physiology) resonates with her own academic ideas and dreams.
I feel honoured to be the first recipient of the Christan Carritt Fellowship in Music because Christian loved music and cared about people – two concerns that also mean a great deal to me.
I can’t remember exactly when I realised that I wanted music to be a part of my life, but the discovery was bound up with the realisation that not everyone had the same means to access it as I did.
I went to school in western Sydney, in an area often politicised for its socioeconomic disadvantage and large migrant and refugee population. In my music class, none of my peers were receiving instrumental lessons as I was, and I remember thinking this was terribly unfair.
I went to university to study music with the aim of contributing to music education in schools like mine. While I did start my career as a music teacher in such a school, at university I also realised my newfound knowledge of ethnomusicology and performance studies might be used to help in a different way.
Specifically, I asked myself: how might academic research illuminate the musical projects that marginalised communities themselves lead? And what if this work also contributed to new music-making opportunities developed in collaboration with those communities, fostering self-realisation, political awareness and intercultural engagement?

I’ve been pursuing that idea ever since. In my first project I observed a Bosnian women refugees’ choir, who were using songs from their homeland to process the trauma of war. I also conducted research with a drumming group for adolescent boys, and music teachers who volunteered at the asylum seeker detention centre across the road from my old school. For my PhD, I explored how music enabled three ethnocultural groups from Sydney’s unjustly vilified Blacktown neighbourhood, where I lived, to navigate the complex relationship between their heritage cultures.
I don’t have space to describe the various projects I’ve undertaken since then, but I can perhaps name two high-points. First, there was the time I went into the recording studio with my multilingual lullaby choir and saw how the complex power dynamics of a modern studio changed how we performed. I subsequently used the testimony of my fellow singers to envisage a pedagogy focused less on idealised notions of ‘finding our voice’ and more on the embodied, sensorial experience of singing together.
Second, I want to mention my ongoing Songworlds project. This
multi-site ethnography is the most ambitious study I’ve yet undertaken of how music functions within a single community. In it, I consider the musical lives of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), a widely dispersed and culturally significant population, whose contemporary form emerged from the labour policies of Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s martial law regime in the 1970s.
By creating discrete ‘songworlds’, I have sought to classify the political, ceremonial, commercial and personal contexts in which song is deployed to narrate the lives of the OFWs. This system paves the way for an understanding of OFW experience that centres their lived realities, often in under-supported sectors such as healthcare, domestic work, fishing and seafaring. Disentangling the OFWs’ authentic experience from nationalistic narratives or reductive stereotypes in turn opens up the possibility of real change through policy and greater awareness.
So, why have I provided such a brief overview of my research? It’s because the final element I want to talk about is how all of this thinking and research shapes my day-to-day interactions with music students, including here at Somerville.
I teach many courses a year, and I supervise several postgraduate students. But, as the Music Faculty’s expert in community music and music education, I also convene the undergraduate course through which students go out and teach music in community and school settings.
Oxford’s Community Music and Music Education course partners with charities, arts organisations, schools and the county music service, so our students can use their skills to enhance the lives of others. Placements are wide-ranging and include teaching in general music classrooms or wholeclass ensembles, and making music with people with dementia, autistic young people, people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, or people in prison.
As the course convenor, I see the benefits of these programmes for endusers, but I also see the impact for our students. Stepping outside tutorials, lectures and the concert hall, they acquire new skills and insights that will benefit them as musicians, as teachers, and as people.
All of this research shapes my day-today interactions with music students
I do hope that Christian would be proud to see the current face of music at Somerville. Certainly, it means a great deal to me that I’m able to fulfil the dream I had as a teenager. It is not quite as I planned it. And yet, through my research and teaching, I like to think the same important goal is achieved.

A Potato Pilgrimage
Last summer, Evan Slater (2020, Biology) set off to South America with a very particular mission in mind, enabled by the Alice Horsman Fund, which supports alumni travel. Since returning, Evan has joined McKinsey & Company as a business analyst.
You probably think of the potato as one of the plainest vegetables – not known for inciting powerful emotions in your typical undergraduate. It may therefore come as some surprise to hear that the humble potato was the key inspiration behind my 4,000km expedition across the mountains, glaciers, and salt flats of the Andean Plateau last summer. Allow me to explain.
I spent my last academic year in Oxford completing my master’s on the immune response of plants to Phytophthora infestans – the devastating pathogen that causes late blight disease in potatoes, most infamously in the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s. My research involved infecting plants with potato blight and monitoring their response.
I was interested to learn that our isolates of Phytophthora infestans had originally come from the International Potato Centre in Peru. I was intrigued by the work this centre was doing and reached out to ask about the possibility of visiting. Thanks to generous support from the Alice Horsman Scholarship, I was able to start planning a trip alongside my friend Sam Thomas (2020, History). We plotted a route through Peru, ending up near Lake Titicaca so I could continue into Bolivia and through to Buenos Aires for my flight home.
The highlight of the trip was our visit to El Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP, or, in English, the International Potato Centre), which kindly arranged for us to tour their facilities, attend seminars and meet several researchers. We heard from Dr Azevedo on her role in cataloguing the global diversity of potato species, and Dr Magembe on a disease-resistant genetically modified potato variety which he was supporting through the regulatory approval process in Kenya. We viewed the potato gene bank, a massive cold room full of test tubes containing tiny potato plants, and heard from Dr Kruze about his work adding a

regenerative potato rotation to the growing season of rice farmers in India. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and learned a huge amount about the cutting edge of research into this most humble of plants.
For the rest of the trip, potatoes never left us alone. Trekking the Colca Canyon, with massive Andean condors soaring above, our new friends shared with us some crisps made from a beautiful purple variegated potato, each wafer like a miniature Rorschach ink blot test. After hiking Machu Picchu, we celebrated with dinner in Cusco, where the star of the show was their potato dish – three different varieties of potato (purple, white and grey) cooked simply with amazingly different flavour profiles and appearances. Finally, I was a prescribed a diet of boiled potatoes by a Bolivian pharmacy when some street food got the better of me – and mounted a strong recovery!
My final week consisted of a stunning bus ride back over the Andes to Salta, Argentina, followed by a flight to Buenos Aires for a few days of city living before heading home. This adventure was the trip of a lifetime for me, and it would not have been possible without the support of the College, for which I am extremely grateful. It was fantastic to see so many natural wonders, experience such unique cultures and meet such a diversity of people. Most of all, I’m delighted to have been able to share my passion for potatoes with you and to have given this lowly tuber its moment in the sun.
INTREPID ANCESTORS: THE MARY EWART TRAVELLING SCHOLARS
Somerville has been enabling lifechanging journeys since long before Evan set off for South America.
Barbara Freire-Marreco (1879-1967) was an anthropologist who in 1912 became the first recipient of the Mary Ewart Travelling Scholarship. This enabled her to continue her research into the Pueblo peoples of the Southwestern area of the USA. Her letters to College reveal the difficulties but also the joys of her research – and how Somerville’s funding of anthropology allowed the subject to flourish.
Marya (or Maria) Antonina Czaplicka (1884-1921), Barbara’s contemporary, followed her in applying for the Mary Ewart Scholarship. Marya travelled to Siberia for her research shortly before the First World War broke out. With another researcher, Henry Usher Hall, and a Tungus woman named Michikha, she spent the winter of 1914-15 travelling along the Yenisei River. She published an account of this trip as My Siberian Year (1916). On returning to England, Marya held a 3-year lectureship in anthropology at Oxford. She then struggled to find funding and, after moving to Bristol and hearing that a research fellowship she had been assured of was being given to someone else, she tragically took her own life. Barbara set up the Marya Antonina Czaplicka Fund in her memory, to help students travel to conferences abroad.
The tradition of supporting students and early-career academics in realising their travel projects has remained in place at Somerville ever since.

To be immersed in Oxford, meet brilliant students from all over the world, and party, too, was simply too good to be true. I had to give back.
To be at Somerville meant encountering amazing tutors who pushed us to think critically and write better. I still remember how a few of us would cycle up the Banbury Road to Mary Proudfoot’s house, where there was always tea and a lot of laughs between the essays. When I had the opportunity of naming a pair of rooms in ROQ West, I did not hesitate to name one for my parents and the other for my Economics tutors, Judith Heyer and Peter Sinclair (Brasenose).
Somerville has produced some remarkable women. I invited Daphne Park to be our guest of honour at the Oxford and
Cambridge Boat Race Dinner at the Harvard Club in New York City. This was back in the 1980s, so the audience was still overwhelmingly male, yet Daphne absolutely blew those men away with her humour and stories. Little did we know that she had been MI6’s most highly ranked female intelligence officer. In those days, the University did not ask for money, as Daphne reminded me. I had been inspired by the organised fundraising of my American alma mater, however, and began giving in small amounts.
Years later, Jan Royall and others asked me to provide scholarships, which I was happy to do for refugees from the Middle East because my life, too, had been impacted by war. The civil war in Syria was raging at this time, displacing millions. I had not suffered like them, but their plight resonated. I was a graduate student in Princeton when the Iranian revolution happened and all my family’s assets disappeared overnight. Once again, I was fortunate –on this occasion, that my wonderful professors in Princeton arranged for me to have a tuition-paying job and a place to live. I am forever grateful to them.
Finally, the ever-persuasive Jan Royall and Sara Kalim approached me last year to help fund a monetary shortfall. With the new Centre for Humanities bringing Oxford’s academic centre closer to Somerville, it seemed important that the hitherto neglected north side of College look spiffier. The new Ratan Tata Building would do much to revitalise the site, but ROQW had to look good, too.
Amusingly, I had for two years looked out over the not so beautiful Radcliffe Observatory while living in House. I was reluctant at first to have my name attached to any building, yet in time Jan, Sara and my husband persuaded me that supporting this project was the best way to make a difference for Somerville.

Further Naming Opportunities
In spring 2026, Somerville College will begin construction on the Ratan Tata Building. Set on the last available plot of land in the prized Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, this landmark building represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Somerville to expand its teaching and learning space in a bold architectural setting.
While the building has already been named in honour of Mr Tata, there remains a range of opportunities to honour benefactors who support this transformative project. For a chance to secure your place in the next exciting phase of Somerville’s evolution, please contact sara.kalim@some.ox.ac.uk
SAFEGUARDING INDIA’S FUTURE: The OICSD Scholars Shaping the Future of Child Welfare
When Tejashwari Naidu and Rahul Singh arrived in Oxford to begin their master’s degrees at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, both brought with them years of hands-on experience addressing one of India’s most urgent and overlooked challenges: child protection.
Tejashwari, the Dr Gita Piramal Graduate Scholar, and Rahul, the Cyril Shroff Scholar, represent the next generation of practitioners shaping child protection policy through the lens of evidence and equity. Together, they embody the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development’s mission: to support Indian scholars committed to advancing sustainable and inclusive development.
Tejashwari Naidu
For Tejashwari, child safety begins at home. “Parents are the most common perpetrators of violence inside a home,” she explains. Her research focuses on parenting interventions that reduce domestic violence against children, drawing lessons from successful global programmes in countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, and the Philippines. “Globally, it’s established that parenting interventions work, but in India, the family is seen as a private space, and this makes intervention complex,” she says.
Tejashwari’s time as a Teach for India Fellow alerted her to the urgency of this issue. “I’d often have children come to school with bruises, and when I visited their homes, I saw first-hand how domestic violence shaped their daily lives,” she recalls. Tejashwari later worked with vulnerable tribal communities in Chhattisgarh in Central India, where deeprooted social norms coupled with poverty to create a cycle of violence and marginalisation. “The circumstances these families live in not only perpetuate violence, but also make escaping it incredibly difficult,” she adds.
At Oxford, Tejashwari aims to contextualise international evidence-based parenting frameworks for India. “Corporal punishment is still not illegal in India, which means there is no acknowledgment through a policy framework of the abuse children face at home. Public policy can’t ignore what happens inside homes and it has to guarantee protection,” she says, pointing to Oxford’s Global Parenting Initiative as a key inspiration for her future work.
Tejashwari’s fieldwork in Chhattisgarh
Rahul Singh’s work, by contrast, focuses on child labour and the policy gaps that allow children to fall through the cracks. His research examines the intersection of child protection, education, and labour laws in India, especially the contradictions between the Right to Education Act, which guarantees schooling until age 14, and other policies that permit child work in family enterprises.
“There is an inherent contradiction in how India perpetuates the exploitation of children through its policies,” he explains. “The Right to Education guarantees education for all children and child labour is illegal, but India makes an exception for childen to be employed in ‘family-run’ businesses.” His work unpacks why these inconsistencies persist and aims to propose policy reforms that reflect India’s social realities, including gender and caste-based vulnerabilities.
Drawing on his experience leading district-level education programmes in Punjab, Rahul stresses that “quick fixes” from the Global North often fail in India. “Evidence alone doesn’t create change. The solutions must emerge from within the system,” he says. “Education is on the concurrent list, meaning both federal and state governments have a role. We need accountability and better implementation, not just new policies.”
For both scholars, Oxford provides an unparalleled environment for interdisciplinary engagement. “The Department of Social Policy and Intervention is pioneering work in child protection,” says Tejashwari. “At the OICSD,
we find not just financial support but also a sense of belonging – a community where we can ideate, question, and connect our work with India’s larger sustainable development goals.” Rahul adds that the academic mentorship and exposure he’s received will be instrumental in shaping his future research. “This programme has given me the foundation to pursue a DPhil and contribute to policy reform grounded in evidence,” he says.
The work of Tejashwari and Rahul reflects the OICSD’s growing impact as a hub for sustainability-focused research that bridges disciplines – from education and gender equality to public health and governance. The Centre’s scholars are not only advancing academic inquiry but also applying their findings to real-world challenges across India.
This aligns closely with the vision shared by Cyril and Vandana Shroff, supporters of the Centre, who note: “The OICSD’s work in empowering talented Indian students to engage deeply with issues of sustainability, equity, and public leadership has been truly inspiring, and it’s a privilege to be associated with its remarkable scholarship programme. The partnership reflects our shared belief in education as a force for long-term change, and we look forward to seeing how all of these scholars continue to contribute to India and the world in the years ahead.”
Through their research, Tejashwari and Rahul remind us that child protection is not merely a policy issue but a moral imperative demanding empathy, systemic reform, and the courage to challenge deeply ingrained social structures. As they prepare to take their learnings back to India, their work stands as a testament to the transformative power of education and the enduring impact of the OICSD community.

Jamie See, our JCR President 2024-25, looks back with gratitude on another successful year for Somerville's undergraduate students.
The engagement of alumni and the wider Somerville community has been integral to the success of the Junior Common Room this year. On behalf of the current JCR, I would like to thank you all for your continued kindness in enhancing student life and supporting future generations of Somervillians in succeeding here.
It is no exaggeration to say that alumni support enhances every part of undergraduate life, making college a vibrant and intellectual community where students feel they belong and can excel. This year alone, over £240k was awarded for academic excellence in the form of scholarships and prizes, and £18k was granted to students in financial hardship relief – none of which would be possible without your generous support. The Margaret Thatcher Scholarship Trust, the Skills Hub programme and Sanctuary
Scholarships have all allowed students to benefit greatly in their academic, personal and career development, both within and beyond Oxford.
Beyond the academic sphere, the JCR embraced a full spectrum of extracurricular pursuits this year. The Somerville College Choir was able to take all of its members on a successful international tour of the United States, irrespective of personal financial circumstances. We offer our sincere thanks to the late Christian Carritt, the Hibbs Family, and the Houston Society of Oxford, including Somervillians Nancy Brown, Susan Karamanian and Virginia Ross, for enabling this unforgettable trip. The Somerville College Boat Club, meanwhile, is grateful for the continued support of SCBC alumni, which enabled them to buy new training blades. Our thanks, also, to those who supported the Sports
and Wellbeing Fund, which once again enabled students to pursue their sporting endeavours.
In addition to helping today’s students, your support also enables Somerville to reach the students of tomorrow. The JCR Access Roadshow is an incredibly rewarding, student-run initiative in which current students work to demystify Oxford and higher education within our partnership. This important work is only possible thanks to donor support. It’s a similar story with our highly popular Open Days and Study Days, and the UNIQ Summer Schools. All of these initiatives enable students from underrepresented and marginalised backgrounds to get their first glimpse of Oxford, and meet Somerville students who are reassuringly human. Best of all, thanks to a successful crowdfunding project supported by the Somerville community, the provision of these vital outreach projects has again been secured.
We are immensely grateful for the continued generosity of the Somerville community, which touches our lives in so many ways. With your support, students have been empowered by a community that values brilliance and talent, yet at the same time enables them to flourish as individuals. I sincerely hope we maintain this special relationship for many years to come.

A year in the SOMERVILLE FUND
The Somerville Fund continues to be a vital source of support for our students, thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends like you. Regular Giving and Alumni Relations Executive Jackie Yip reports on the Fund’s impact in the past year.
Your contributions have made an extraordinary difference this year, helping our students thrive, supporting academic excellence, and strengthening our mission to include the excluded.
Almost £300,000 was distributed in bursaries, reaching 22% of our student body and easing the financial burden of studying at Oxford. In addition, £34,000 in discretionary grants and £18,000 in hardship funding provided urgent relief, while college offered £90,000 in free accommodation to those in crisis. Graduate students, meanwhile, received nearly £600,000
to support with fees, living costs, and essential academic resources.
Over £240,000 was awarded in scholarships and prizes, recognising outstanding achievement and enabling students to pursue their academic goals. Our Access and Outreach programme reached 3,115 pupils from 505 schools, expanding access and aspiration beyond Somerville.
The Somerville Fund Crowdfunder this year brought donors closer to college life than ever before. In our Spring Mailing, every member of our
community received a pop-out model of the library, an invitation to start building your very own Somerville Quad! The response was inspiring, and donors voted for Vaughan as the next pop-out, which you will receive this Spring. This playful yet meaningful campaign is building momentum toward our 150th anniversary, with supporters shaping the future one building at a time.
Our Cedar Circle, for regular givers, continues to grow and has now reached 1,000 members across the globe. These donors are the backbone of our planning and resilience, allowing us to respond swiftly to emerging needs. Their commitment was celebrated in a special webinar with our new principal, where we shared stories of impact and gratitude.
From the creation of our Remembrance Garden to the 1921 Club appeal for rowing and the urgent needs campaign, your support has this year touched every corner of college life. Whether funding new blades for our rowers or planting trees in memory of loved ones, these projects reflect the depth and diversity of our donor community.

A LEGACY The Gift of
Every year, many of those whose lives were changed by Somerville seek to guarantee the same opportunities for future generations by remembering Somerville in their wills. Here we share a few of those special stories from the past year.
The Play's the Thing
Anyone who came to Somerville from the early 1960s to the new millennium will remember Professor Katherine Duncan-Jones (1941-2022). Somerville’s long-standing Tutorial Fellow, and later Honorary Fellow, in English Literature was famously a vision of Pre-Raphaelite elegance moving about College in her ‘long, dreamy cotton dresses’. Those lucky enough to be taught by ‘KDJ’ will also remember their tutor’s unshakeable belief that seeing the plays of her beloved Shakespeare and his contemporaries was essential to grasping their true power. Many
students even accompanied Katherine on her regular trips to Stratford to watch the latest RSC production, often in support of their tutor writing another spirited review for the TLS.
On her death in 2022, Professor Katherine Duncan-Jones left an unrestricted legacy to College. In conversation with Katherine’s daughters, it has been agreed that half of this money will support the long-anticipated creation of the Anne Hudson Graduate Scholarship in Middle English. The other half will establish a theatre fund to ensure that KDJ’s love of introducing Somerville’s English students to Shakespeare in performance will continue for many years to come.
An Oxford Man
Dr John (Trevor) Hughes (1928 –2023) is remembered across Oxford as an eminent neuropathologist, an author of medical history books and a longstanding fellow of Green Templeton College. At Somerville, however, Trevor Hughes is best remembered as the husband of Catherine Hughes, Somerville’s Principal from 1989-96.
KDJ believed that seeing the plays of Shakespeare was essential to grasping their true power
Together, Catherine and Trevor were ardent supporters of Somerville until Catherine’s death in 2014. Afterwards, Trevor remained a devoted friend of College who loved returning for our Somerville Association events. His exceptionally generous, unrestricted legacy gift to Somerville is proof once again that he was an Oxford man through and through.

A True Somervillian
Phyllis Treitel (née Cook, 1930-2024, 1948, PPE) might never have studied at Somerville at all. Her first application was unsuccessful after a perfect storm of scarlet fever, the big freeze of 1947 and a collapsed sick room ceiling. Undeterred, Phyllis hitchhiked her way around France for the summer, re-sat her exams in autumn, and duly gained her place.
Phyllis showed similar levels of determination all her life. As one of the first female employees of the Colonial Service, based in the Southern Cameroons, she never accepted reports on face value. Instead, she ignored the men who said the roads weren’t navigable and set off alone to verify the
facts for herself. In due course, marriage to the Vinerian Professor of Law Guenther Treitel brought Phyllis back to Oxford and challenge of a different kind – namely, managing the Somerville alumni network. Phyllis’ two sons still remember how proud they felt helping their mother stuff the 2,400 envelopes containing the newly redesigned College Report.
In later years, Phyllis followed her love of the English countryside westward to Swindon and the home of the 19th Century nature writer Richard Jefferies, whose work she did a great deal to publicise. Her final gift to Somerville was in keeping not merely with Phyllis’ generosity, but also the love of scholarship and deep faith in others that she showed from her very first interaction with College.
Somerville’s Other Iron Lady
Phyllis ignored the men who said the roads weren’t navigable and set off alone to verify the facts for herself
When the young Pauline Harrison (1926-2024; 1944, Chemistry) referred to her inorganic chemistry tutor as “Mrs H”, she intended it as a mark of respect and affection for the future Nobel laureate Dorothy Hodgkin. She can hardly have imagined that her own students might one day give her the same nickname in a tribute to her own scientific renown. And yet, Pauline Harrison’s scientific contribution is indisputable: her 151 publications have, to date, been cited over 12,000 times, and in 2001 she was awarded the CBE for services to science education.
At the heart of Professor Harrison’s research was the study of iron metabolism. Pauline had become fascinated by the iron protein ferritin while working as a Research Assistant under Dorothy Hodgkin. During the 36 years she spent at the University of Sheffield, that fascination never left her. She was instrumental in unlocking the structure and formation of the molecule through countless influential studies and international collaborations. On her retirement, the University of Sheffield created the Harrison Chair in Structural Biology in Pauline’s honour. However, the gift she left Somerville for student support suggests that she never forgot her connection to College, or the role it played in her life.
