Publications

You can read the Wolfson literary anthology, WolfWords: The soil has started to shift, online here.

The result of an open call, the collection features poetry, art, and photographic contributions from across the Wolfson community, including students, staff, fellows, and alumni. It is centered around the theme of ‘Growth’, and attracted a diverse number of submissions, from reflections on the power of learning for communal endurance, to commentaries on the importance of kindness.
