During my undergraduate, I enjoyed exploring the cobbled lanes, back
alleys and historic buildings of Oxford on foot. I am currently doing my
masters remotely, and so the walking tour came from a desire to bring
Oxford to other people online. It is an exciting opportunity to learn of
a few of the inspiring sites and individuals of Oxford, we hope you
enjoy it.

I’m local to Oxford and have been for 20 years. I wanted to know more
about the area and so this project was perfect to combine my
inquisitiveness and interests in human rights.

I have lived in Oxford for over 4 years and I am interested in the
history and the culture, and making the most of walking around a
beautiful city.

I moved to Oxford in 2015 for three years, but, despite the
observational lens that came with studying Architecture, a lot was left
unexplored. When I returned in 2020 - partly in light of the state of
our current world - my interactions with the city had shifted. In
developing this tour, I was afforded a rare opportunity to explore a
whole new side of the city that aligned with my current motivations and
interests.

Having moved to Oxford in September 2020 and spent most of my time here
under lockdown regulations I was excited by the opportunity to learn
about the history of human rights in Oxford as a way to discover the
city. I wanted to use the experience to broaden my knowledge on human
rights and find engaging ways to share information during Covid-19,
ideas which were formed through collaboration with the Conflictorium in
India.

A participatory museum that addresses the ideas, questions and structures
of conflict. It is an initiative that brings together different sections
of society to celebrate plurality and encourage conflict expression in
creative ways, by facilitating dialogue through art and culture practice.
The emphasis is on art, audience and archives where intersectional and
interdisciplinary approaches to peace and conflict are explored.
