We hope to keep you engaged with the College through online events, sharing news and updates about College life. Sign up to the event mailing list to keep up to date with what's on at Wolfson. You should have received your Wolfson Annual Review in the post now. We hope you are enjoying hearing your feedback. You can also view a copy online here. We hope it is not too long until we are able to welcome you back to the College to celebrate together. Until then, watch out for our 2021 programme, keep safe and stay in touch!

NEWS FROM WOLFSONWolfson part of the Cambridge Foundation Year Wolfson College is delighted to be among the first Colleges to host students for the Cambridge Foundation Year – an innovative new programme offering talented students from backgrounds of educational and social disadvantage a new route to undergraduate study. Humanities Society - Commemorating War Dead in Ancient Athens from Homer to Thucydides In this talk, Dr Cezary will provide an overview of his latest book, "The Treatment of the War Dead in Archaic Athens: An Ancestral Custom" (Bloomsbury Academic 2020). Exploring a variety of ancient sources, including the Homeric poems, depictions of combat on vases, and funerary monuments for fallen warriors, Cezary will discuss the unique significance of the war dead in the cultural imagination of the Athenians, explaining why ancient modes of war commemoration remain relevant to modern discussions about how we remember and commemorate military conflict.
