Thomas More's 'Utopia' from 1516 has variously been read as a blueprint for society, a scathing satire, and a timeless warning. Worcester's Professor Laura Ashe joins Misha Glenny and guests on BBC Radio 4's 'In Our Time' to discuss one of the most influential works of political philosophy and ask why utopias can so often seem dystopian.

If you give regularly to Worcester, thank you – your gifts make a real difference to our students! Charlee Wedderburn-Bolton (2021, English Language & Literature) was a student Telethon caller and became a regular donor after graduating.

"When I needed to weather personal storms, the College was there to support me, and I wanted to give back. Supporting Worcester ensures that future students have the same quality of experience that I received, and I want the students there now to see Worcester the way I did – an incredible place to call home."

Thank you to everyone who has made a gift to Worcester – your support has a lasting impact on our student community! If you’re inspired to make a gift, find out more on our website https://www.worc.ox.ac.uk/alumni/support/donate?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=referral
