The new positions are strictly part-time and are intended to ‘add to the cultural life of the college’, Rusbridger added. “At a minimum we’d like them to drop in occasionally at college, eat with us and meet informally with a variety of the LMH community.”

“We’d like them to do one thing a bit more structured. It could be a conversation or debate, a performance, a lecture or seminar, a form of outreach – or something we haven’t thought of. We can imagine fascinating interactions or collaborations between them.”

The new appointments were taken from a list of possible visiting fellows drawn up by the college’s governing body which was then narrowed down by a committee. “Some of the names we announce today did not go to university. One left school at 16. We think we can learn much from them – and we hope they treasure their time with us,” Rusbridger added.
