Exploring the Vice-Chancellor’s Colloquium on Climate, where 200 undergrads join forces with top academics to combat the climate crisis. VC Irene Tracey talks to programme lead Bill Finnegan, Pablo Mukherjee and two students.
On the latest Fire and Wire, the Vice-Chancellor and her guests discuss a new cross-curricular teaching and learning experience for undergraduates at Oxford. Launched last term, 'The Vice-Chancellor’s Colloquium − Climate' brought together 200 undergraduates and Oxford’s world-leading academics from across the Humanities, Social Sciences and STEM subjects to tackle the global climate crisis. Programme lead, Bill Finnegan, joins Pablo Mukherjee, Professor of Anglophone World-Literature, and first-year students, Michal Pietrzak and Erin Adlard, to discuss the initiative from their personal perspectives.
