"I have tried … to paint trees as tho’ they were human beings" (Paul Nash)
We hope to treat human beings as if they were trees: slow-growing, in need of space and time and a nurturing surrounding ecosystem, every one full of latent majesty.
14 brilliant GPs, Carracci, Michelangelo, Dürer, John Wesley, Emperor Augustus and Sophia Schutz.
Tremendous afternoon thinking through questions of body, identity, personhood and perception.
Also laughing.
Many thanks to @AndrewSchuman for setting it all up.
Good for us @UniofOxford and congratulations to @WestLondonMan

Great job for early career academic with expertise in Old and Middle English - here, at my College, Lady Margaret Hall - please share! lmh.pinpointhq.com/en/postin…
The #EloquentThings course at @AshmoleanMuseum this week drew together @oxsocsci DPhils from @school_of_arch @OxfordDeptofEd @OxfordCSLS and @oxford_anthro, to learn about the principles and practice of object-based teaching.
And they were absolutely outstanding.
We feel that our colleagues at @OxfordModLangs and @TAYOxford should get a little credit here since they hosted this excellent @AshmoleanMuseum event in their lecture theatre.
A great pleasure yesterday to welcome 1st year rabbinical students from @LeoBaeckCollege, looking at marriage rings from 15th-century Venice and Transylvania, and Rembrandt’s Hebrew Bible stories including these 4 images for Rabbi Menasseh Ben Israel’s ‘Piedras Gloriosas’ of 1655
So good to meet up with the team from #LifeWorthLiving @sheffielduni this afternoon.
Thanks for coming to @UniofOxford
Looking forward to collaborating with on exploring university pedagogy as a way into the big, existential questions.
Come on!
Quality thread from our friends at @HSMOxford

Colossal fun at @TORCHOxford yesterday morning, giving an ECR workshop on object-based teaching and learning with the (drum roll…) AWARD WINNING #HeritagePathways team.
Thank you for having us.
It really is a treat!
And, equally, it was a treat to look at Turner, Girtin, teapots and hair relics with @CCCOxfordAccess @engfac students this morning.
Such a treat to have the Wilton Diptych in town! After a great object-handling class with Jim Harris on Romantic memory & colonialism, took my students to look at the historical Richard II in preparation for a class on Shakespeare's Richard @AshmoleanUEP @AshmoleanMuseum

We’re off.
Again.
It is exciting.
