Yesterday marked the start of the spring term, Hilary term, in Oxford. Yiming Cheng, a 2025 Scholar from China, reflects upon her first term as a #RhodesScholar, finding work-life balance, finding community and finding a home in Oxford. We wish all of our Scholars in Residence a great term ahead!

Alain Locke became the first Black #RhodesScholar in 1907. A central voice of the Harlem Renaissance, his landmark anthology The New Negro reshaped Black art, culture & identity. 100 years after publication, Rhodes Scholars honour his legacy through readings and reflections: bit.ly/100TheNewNegro

Our Scholars are back in Oxford but the squirrels never left! Enjoy this video of some familiar furry faces at Rhodes House 🐿️

When #RhodesScholar Matt Pierri first arrived at Oxford in 2016, his experience as a wheelchair user sparked a mission that turned into Sociability, a platform helping disabled people navigate spaces with confidence and paving the way for a more inclusive future.

As AI systems become increasingly embedded in our daily lives, how do we navigate the opportunities and limitations they bring? Hear from #RhodesScholar Firas Darwish, who is moderating a keynote at #TechAndSociety2025 today with Jeremy Heimans, co-founder & CEO of Purpose.

At #TechAndSociety2025, environmental anthropologist Dr Patience Mususa and restoration scientist Tina Christmann challenged easy answers, exploring what the Global South can teach us about conservation, extraction, and who really bears the cost of the green transition. 🌿

Brilliant response around East Wall on Saturday talking to people about the cost of living and housing crises. A major part was the need for the opposition to rule out coalition with Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael and firmly commit to building an alternative that puts the needs of ordinary people first.

The legitimate protest actions taken by fuel protesters (that forced the government to make limited concessions) are the reason this ‘no confidence’ vote is taking place. We must broaden out the fuel protests & bring them to another level with mass participation from working people & trade unions.

Trump’s fighting only for his billionaire buddies, not for the working families that are the beating heart of this great country. I'll keep fighting against his cruelty by standing up for all New Yorkers so we can build an economy where everyone can succeed and thrive.

Trump: "Pete Hegseth is central casting. He loves war!" At least he's admitting it so no one has to call us conspiracy theorists when we tell the truth.

CNN’s Daniel Dale just shredded Trump’s latest lie: “These claims are just not true.” Trump keeps insisting grocery prices are “way down,” but inflation data shows the opposite. Prices are still climbing, and he’s gaslighting Americans who feel it every time they check out at the register.

The peaceful commitment of people to freedom, democracy and human rights is decisive. Freedom is never voluntarily given. Freedom is won. Support freedom for everyone, everywhere, while you still have some. #allactivists to #bringdownthewalls #freedom for all #Berlinwall

Ossoff: This is what small men like Trump, Vance and Miller will never understand. Our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions. That is what makes us exceptional.
