At least eight new Fellows will be joining Selwyn during the next academic year. They come from all over the world - including the United States, France, Germany and India - and represent a range of subjects from architecture to astrophysics.
Among them will be Dr Lotte Reinbold, an existing bye-Fellow of the college, who takes on a college teaching post in English and a full Fellowship. Dr Reinbold’s research includes dream poetry, from the late Middle Ages to the late Early Modern period. She is also interested in Chaucerian afterlives and reception, medievalism, and the children"s fantasy writer Diana Wynne Jones.
We will introduce more of our new Fellows in the coming weeks.
Two new Selwyn boats now grace the Cam, thanks to the generosity of supporters and the efforts of rowers.
A pair, named John Whitbread honours a former member whose legacy to the club reflected his love of rowing and his wish for more people to take up the sport. It is joined by a four for the women's side, Fiona Morrison, named after one of the college's first female rowers.
