We hope that our Faculty newsletter will entertain and inform you. This is the first of what is planned as a termly issue, in which we will offer articles reflecting the range of research activities within the faculty, while also considering the teaching of languages at Oxford and elsewhere.

The events at the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages are numerous and varied, ranging from workshops and conferences to lectures, readings, and meetings with researchers, authors, and film-makers. Many of our events are open to the public, while still retaining the specialist nature of advanced studies.
