Robin Osborne

I am Robin and was myself a student at King’s. I spent a number of years teaching in Oxford before being drawn back by the unique challenges of this place. I teach across the range of Greek and Roman history, art and archaeology, and teach Historians as well as Classicists. Quite a lot of the things I have published have grown out of my teaching. I have been an editor of Omnibus for many years and you can find my contributions, recent and less recent, in the Omnibus archive (https://archive.org/details/omnibuscatalogue).

Myfanwy Hill

Dr Hill is the Senior Tutor at King’s College; she oversees the educational and pastoral life of the College.  Before taking on this role Myfanwy was a full time academic with research interests in brain stem cells.  In particular, she worked on regeneration of injury in the brain and spinal cord.  Myfanwy is also a qualified veterinary surgeon treating companion animals.  Alongside being Senior Tutor, she teaches Medical, Veterinary and Natural Sciences students.
