During the academic year 2020/2021, thanks to philanthropic support, King’s has launched an ambitious Silk Roads Programme of studies. We have welcomed two Research Fellows on the topic of the Silk Roads, and appointed Peter Frankopan as Associate Director of the Programme.

The College is now receiving applications to a new Silk Roads PhD studentship which will provide funding for up to 4 years to pursue research on some aspect of the Silk Roads countries, societies, and cultures, and the opportunity to host an international conference at King’s.

By having post-doctoral Fellows and scholars working side by side in this area at the same time, we hope to stimulate wide discussion within and beyond the College and Cambridge.

Did you know that the exhibition ‘Isherwood in Cambridge’, currently at the @parkerlibrary of @corpuscambridge, has been curated by King’s alumna Eliza Haughton-Shaw (KC 2016) and features illustrations by the also King’s alumna and former member of the @kings_art_rooms illustrator Anna Trench (KC 2007)? Anna was asked to illustrate Christopher Isherwood’s sinister and playful ‘Mortmere’ stories which Isherwood created with his friend Edward Upward while undergraduates at Corpus. ⏳ Open until 4 June (opening reception 22 May, 4pm, Parker Library) #ChristopherIsherwood
 
A very special ceremony today, where over half of the graduands were receiving their MBA degrees (so many 'green hoods' on display!) and the lining up took place in a very sunny Webb’s Court. See them all leave College via the King’s Lane Gate behind the Deputy Head Porter and the Praelector. Congratulations to all! Enjoy the rest of your big day and share some of your photos with communications@kings.cam.ac.uk or tag King’s in your posts. @cambridgeuniversity @cambridgejudge #cambridgegraduation

Unfortunately, our old hive perished over the winter. We have since found two new hives to cherish and so this is one of the first inspections of the season… with many more to come. We hope you all welcome the new bees with love ❤️. P.S. spot the queen bee in pictures 8 & 9!!!
