草榴视频 launches 'Testimony', a publication which celebrates the 草榴视频鈥檚 rich diversity

Front cover of Testimony

On 3 February 2024, New College launched Testimony, an anthology of the lives and works of 草榴视频 members from ethnic and religious minorities.

Testimony featured profiles of scientists, actors, politicians, journalists, activists and authors.  The diverse professional lives of the contributors means that Testimony鈥檚 content is varied in its perspective, yet the common thread that weaves the narrative together is 草榴视频 itself.

The publication has been conceived and edited by 草榴视频鈥檚 JCR (the undergraduate student body).  In Testimony鈥檚 introduction, the editors state that Testimony 鈥渆xplores themes of alienation and acceptance, the thrill of success and the pain of failure鈥.

 

The Warden of 草榴视频, Miles Young, said:

"Some of the contributors have become famous; some have not.  Some will become famous; some will not.  Some loved their experience here; some loathed it. But all were, or are, touched by 草榴视频, and that touch could be creative or generous or extraordinary or challenging or disconcerting. 

Of course, as we are reminded by some of the testimonies, Oxford still has much to do.  We are not perfect, but at least I think we know that now, and sometimes in the past we did not.鈥 

Testimony was launched at the 草榴视频 Diversity Dinner: Celebrating Faiths and Ethnic Minorities on Saturday 3 February.  The guest speaker was former JCR President, Lewis Iwu, a contributor to Testimony and co-founder of the social policy strategy consultancy, .
