"I have tried … to paint trees as tho’ they were human beings" (Paul Nash)

We hope to treat human beings as if they were trees: slow-growing, in need of space and time and a nurturing surrounding ecosystem, every one full of latent majesty.

@lauravarnam @UnivOxford Always a pleasure to see y’all.

14 brilliant GPs, Carracci, Michelangelo, Dürer, John Wesley, Emperor Augustus and Sophia Schutz.
Tremendous afternoon thinking through questions of body, identity, personhood and perception.
Also laughing.

Many thanks to @AndrewSchuman for setting it all up.

The #EloquentThings course at @AshmoleanMuseum this week drew together @oxsocsci DPhils from @school_of_arch @OxfordDeptofEd @OxfordCSLS and @oxford_anthro, to learn about the principles and practice of object-based teaching.

And they were absolutely outstanding.

@Walsh_e_Patrick @ChattoBooks @ScribnerBooks @vintagebooks @AshmoleanMuseum @AshmoleanPress @pew_literary @AshLearning @Waterstones @LauraCummingArt We feel that our colleagues at @OxfordModLangs and @TAYOxford should get a little credit here since they hosted this excellent @AshmoleanMuseum event in their lecture theatre.

A great pleasure yesterday to welcome 1st year rabbinical students from @LeoBaeckCollege, looking at marriage rings from 15th-century Venice and Transylvania, and Rembrandt’s Hebrew Bible stories including these 4 images for Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel’s ‘Piedras Gloriosas’ of 1655

We’d like to make the case for 6 as a pretty cool number - because all prime numbers are multiples of 6 (plus or minus 1). 🙂

Colossal fun at @TORCHOxford yesterday morning, giving an ECR workshop on object-based teaching and learning with the (drum roll…) AWARD WINNING #HeritagePathways team.
Thank you for having us.

[Ashmolean Academic Engagement @AshmoleanUEP]

It really is a treat!
And, equally, it was a treat to look at Turner, Girtin, teapots and hair relics with @CCCOxfordAccess @engfac students this morning.

Such a treat to have the Wilton Diptych in town! After a great object-handling class with Jim Harris on Romantic memory & colonialism, took my students to look at the historical Richard II in preparation for a class on Shakespeare's Richard @AshmoleanUEP @AshmoleanMuseum

[Ashmolean Academic Engagement @AshmoleanUEP]

@Geodiverse @rachel_delman @AlicePurk Amen to that.
