Welcome

Dr Christy Wensley has curated a series of horror film screenings & talks at the Schwarzman Centre and Ultimate Picture Palace taking place next week from 26 – 31 May: 'Black Horror in “Post-Racial” America: Fear on Film After Obama through Trump 2.0'. 

Join us for our next free Shakespeare webinar with Professor Emma Smith. On 1 June, Emma will be discussing Arden of Faversham with Dr Iman Sheeha followed by a live Q&A. All welcome! 

The Schwarzman Centre will bring together Oxford University's Humanities faculties for the first time, alongside a new Bodleian Humanities Library & state-of-the-art teaching & performance facilities. 

We're delighted to see Oxford University take the top spot for English in the Guardian University Guide 2026.

In this free webinar series, Shakespeare expert Professor Emma Smith will be discussing a different Oxford World's Classics Shakespeare title each month. 

We asked our English undergrads some very important quickfire questions, including what their favourite book is, which author they'd like to have dinner with, and their best (and worst!) book to film adaptations. Find out how they answered!
