A few snaps from the Game Changer exhibition at Regent's a couple of weeks ago 📸

Featuring treasures from the Angus Library and Archive and celebrating the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale's translation of the Bible, the exhibition traced the journey of Bible translation from the 16th to the 18th century.

At the official exhibition opening, His Eminence Archbishop Angaelos, Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London - and also President of the Bible Society! - said a few words before delving into the exhibit.

Thank you so much to our wonderful Fellow Emerita, Dr Lynn Robson, and our Angus Librarian, Emily Burgoyne, for putting together a truly exceptional exhibition 👏

Last week, we were deeply honoured to welcome His All-Holiness Bartholomew I, Archbishop of Constantinople - New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, to Oxford for a special lecture hosted by the Centre for Law and Religion, based at Regent's.

Speaking at the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford, His All-Holiness delivered a lecture on 'Religious Liberty in Contested Ecosystems: Law, Religion and Foreign Policy in a New International Order', exploring questions at the intersection of faith, law and international affairs.

We are grateful to His All-Holiness for joining us in Oxford, and for a post-lecture dinner in Helwys Hall at Regent's, and to all those who gathered for this special occasion.

The full recording of the lecture is available to watch on the University Church's YouTube channel 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/live/tFXdg9jSHFE

Today we are wishing a huge congratulations to Dr Tim Middleton, whose recent book - Witnessing A Wounded World - has received two international prizes: the 2026 Research Prize from ESSAT and the 2026 ISSR Book Prize.

The book, which is an exploration of the relationship between theology and the natural sciences, asks what it might mean to think of the Earth as itself traumatised 🌏

💬 Reflecting on the awards, Tim says: "It is a real honour to have my work recognised in this way, and a delight to see that Witnessing a Wounded World is resonating with readers. My hope is that the book continues to prompt ecotheological reflection on the current planetary situation.”

Are post-Covid work from home arrangements here to stay? And why? 💭

This June, a paper co-authored by Regent's Research Fellow in Economics, Pawel Adrjan, exploring the long-term persistence of remote work won the Lluís Fina Best Paper Award from the Spanish Association of Labour Economics.

'Working From Home after COVID-19: Evidence from Job Postings in 20 Countries' measures the extent to which the remote work surge during the pandemic has stuck, drawing on more than a billion job adverts posted across 20 countries (including the UK) between 2019 and 2023.

The share of postings advertising remote or hybrid work more than quadrupled after January 2020, from roughly 2.5% to 11% in the average country 📈 Moreover, work-from-home job adverts increased whenever the pandemic worsened while not falling back whenever restrictions were eased.

A key explanation for this persistence of working from home appears to be workers themselves: jobseeker interest in remote roles rose about fivefold, turning flexibility into a benefit employers now advertise to compete for staff!

A love letter to Regent’s 💌

Written by alumna Monalisa (2017, History and English) at the end of her final year in 2020 - a final year unlike any other.

The things Mona would miss are familiar to so many of us, and her letter ends on a note that will resonate with generations of Regent's students.

“May my memory paint you as one of my greatest romances with life. Because you are.” 💛

Thank you, Mona, for letting us share your letter!

How do you describe something when the words don’t exist? 💭

This question lies at the heart of Finding Words, a major Ministry of Justice-funded project exploring how Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi-speaking communities understand and communicate experiences of child abuse, in which Regent's EDI Fellow Sabah Kaiser has played an important role.

Drawing on her expertise in safeguarding, survivor engagement and community interpreting, as well as her own experiences, Sabah has helped explore how language can shape disclosure, understanding and access to support.

"People often assume that language simply exists and needs to be translated. This project asks much deeper questions about where language comes from, whose voices shaped it, what meanings it carries, and whether it genuinely serves the people who need it most.”
