@tufnelljimmy All the very best to you! I'd say good luck, but that's not exactly the right terms.... no need for butterflies, looks as if the path is open!

'engrossing and timely' The Financial Times

An incisive and though-provoking history that explores the little-know origins of terms such as 'wellness' and 'self-care' which first gained traction in the wake of the 1960s.

This Women's History Month we're celebrating Girton's pioneering history. ❤️ 🤍 💚

✒️In this poem written for Girton, Yvonne Salmon (@eviesalmon) uses ink as a metaphor for progress, highlighting the fortitude and determination of the women who claimed their right to education.

@GirtonCollege @eviesalmon Great work!

Peter Whitehead's The Fall (1969). Just as relevant as ever. The perfect film for these strange days. Was delighted to be asked to introduce this rare screening at Robinson Art Festival. https://t.co/iNBsvag4sT. @RobinsonCamb. @CATHResearchDMU, @englishunicam, @GirtonCollege.
