I am extremely grateful to Pembroke for awarding me the Gordon Aldrick Scholarship, which has allowed me to pursue a DPhil in Contemporary Chinese Literature and Culture. It is a huge honour for me to receive this support from such a distinguished institution and to be made part of this wonderful community.

Being a Black Academics Future Scholar has completely changed my life and the lives of many students with a similar background to mine. I am so grateful to be doing my PhD at Oxford with the best researchers in my field of study and to be able to share my passion for science with my BAF cohort and the Pembroke College community. 

I was delighted to receive the Oxford-Farthing Scholarship. This laudable scholarship programme has afforded me the valuable opportunity to pursue my doctoral research at Oxford and undertake teaching at Pembroke and across the collegiate university.
