The start of Lent term sees the return of our popular speaker events, to which college members and the wider Cambridge community are warmly invited.

The first, on Thursday January 18th, featured alumnus Jon Silverman discussing why there was much political noise - but almost no decisive action - on dealing with Nazi war criminals in the UK. To view online, please click here:

Then on Tuesday January 23rd, another alumnus Shehab Khan visited us to show the film he made about his journey to the Hajj in Saudi Arabia – and he answered questions under the title of “Faith, television and me”. Shehab is a political reporter and presenter for ITV News, and he was joined on the panel by ITV commissioner Delilah Jeary.

The session in the auditorium can be viewed here:
