Wishing you all peace, happiness and light for the holiday season from everyone at Nuffield College🎄🌟❄️
Our annual Carol Service took place today, continuing one of Nuffield’s longest-standing traditions. The service was made especially meaningful by the voices of members of the College, who came together to sing a programme of traditional and much-loved carols.
🚀 Launching today: a new project in partnership with @UniCologne, and led by Fellow @ProfAThompson and @FabianMKlose @ChlCologne, will explore the impact of the 1990s on global governance today.
The 'Rethinking Global Governance and Human Security' project has been awarded €4.4 million by @alfredlandecker to study this underexplored period of recent history

We were delighted to hear from Visiting Fellow Andrew Tyrie (Research Fellow 1990-1991) on the question of ‘How Should We Understand the UK Parliament’s Real Power?’ in a Q&A with our own Jane Green.
Andrew drew on his wealth of experience as a former MP and current Member of the House of Lords to give us an insider’s perspective on UK political life and how to think more broadly about Parliament’s power.
