🎉 Congratulations to Lily Karia-Briggs, this year’s winner of the Christine Peters Prize
Lily's prize-winning thesis examines the 1972 expulsion of Ugandan Asians through the experiences of women, offering a fresh perspective on one of the defining episodes of post-colonial history. Inspired in part by her own family's story, her research explores how gender shaped both the experience of displacement and the rebuilding of communities in the UK.
💬 Reflecting on her work, Lily says: "You cannot understand political, post-colonial history without considering gender, which was central to constructions and experiences of power."

.ᐣ What can your gut bacteria teach us about fighting infection?
In our next episode of ‘Provox’ the Provost talks to Barclay Williams Professor for Molecular Mucosal Immunology Emma Slack about the microbiome, mucosal immunity, and how the immune system works at our body surfaces.
Professor Slack explains how her research is uncovering the relationship between gut bacteria and host defences, and how this could lead to safer alternatives to antibiotics and new ways to prevent invasive infections such as E. coli and sepsis.

🏯⚕️From Japanese to radiology: the value of studying languages reaches far beyond the classroom.
For Dr Christine Guerrini (MSt Japanese, 2007), learning Japanese wasn't simply about mastering another language. It taught her to question assumptions and see problems from different perspectives – skills she now draws on every day as a radiologist.
In our latest Old Member blog feature, Christine speaks to the Queen's Translation Exchange and reflects on how studying at Queen's shaped an unexpected career path and why she believes language learning remains one of the most valuable investments young people can make.
