Our Baggage to & from Oxford (2021/2022)—Blog Series

Hopes, experiences, heritages, stories we bring to Oxford, what we hope to take away

We asked our scholars to go back to the moment they packed their luggage in preparation for their journey to Oxford. But instead of clothes and books, we asked them to think about the stories, people, memories, hopes, and all immaterial things that they would put inside. The prestige of the University of Oxford is recognised worldwide, but our scholars, who this year come from 25 different countries, come from lineages just as deeply rooted in history, even when less recognised, and bring stories and ideas to Oxford that will benefit the university. Scholars are full of vision and are hoping to make more memories and value from Oxford.
