On Thursday 11 April, Oliver Evans (Classics, 1995) hosted an alumni event at the Somerset Club in Boston. After some tasty cocktails and pleasant conversations, Members enjoyed a lecture by Sarah Mortimer, Professor in Modern History. Sarah, Official Student and Tutor at Christ Church, is an early modern historian whose research examines ideas of political and religious communities in a time of confessional division and imperial expansion. She visited Boston to attend a conference at Harvard, and her topic for the evening was: 'What makes community? Some early modern answers for our times'. 

It was great to see returning and new alumni at this event, and we hope to see more of you in October.
