This tour highlights the University of Oxford’s relationship with contentious sources of revenue. Learn about historic and modern wealth distribution networks within the University and engage with conversations of wealth inequality in a city experiencing a housing crisis. We ask why billionaires keep investing in the historic university, how massive philanthropic donations should be handled, and what effects such income streams have on notion of academic freedom and political neutrality. This tour lasts for about 1.5hrs. We will walk no more than two miles, but please be aware that cobble stones and uneven pavement may restrict the accessibility of this event.

Super interesting tour about the uncomfortable income sources that have founded the uni. And thanks to Hera Jay for facilitating the discussions and being a great storyteller!

An excellent walking tour of Oxford that looks beyond the basic facts and challenges the traditional historical narrative through participant discussion. This tour is fabulously engaging, memorable and thought-provoking as information is not simply dished out to participants as they are instead encouraged to think critically about the physical environment and its links to the past. The best way to gain a deeper understanding of Oxford and truly engage with the city's history.
