🎉 Congratulations to former Junior Research Fellow Dr Selena Wisnom, whose book 'The Library of Ancient Wisdom: Mesopotamia and the Making of History' has been shortlisted for the 2026 Wolfson History Prize.
Her book explores the remarkable survival of 33,000 clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia, that reveal a sophisticated world of literature, religion, medicine, magic and more. Now a Lecturer at the University of Leicester, Dr Wisnom said she was thrilled by the recognition and hopes it will encourage more people to study Assyriology.

🎓 Meet our MCR President, Jennice!
Jennice is a DPhil researcher in Archaeological Science, studying ancient trees to understand and date the past, and she’s also a familiar face in the MCR (the Queen’s graduate community) after two years on the MCR committee.
At the heart of her plans as President is a simple idea: making sure the graduate community is a place where everyone feels they belong, whether they’re regulars at every event or just dropping in for coffee and a chat. We caught up with Jennice about the work that goes on behind the scenes to achieve this, and how she balances her role with her research.

📚🌍 Bringing creative translation into the classroom
Today we’re launching the Anthea Bell Prize 2026–27 with a new Resources Library, making it easy for language teachers to find the right supporting materials for their classes.
The 130+ free resources can now be searched by language, topic, grammar and curriculum and there are more resources to come. New poetry resources are available now, with fresh fiction and non-fiction packs following later this year.
Launched by the Queen’s College Translation Exchange in 2020, the Anthea Bell Prize brings creative and inclusive translation into classrooms across the UK with a record 25,000 students taking part last year.

🧮 What can a 1,000-year-old mathematical problem teach us about the future of artificial intelligence?
In the latest episode of ‘Provox’, the Provost speaks to the Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy, Professor Jon Keating FRS, one of the world's leading mathematical physicists, about the surprising connections between pure mathematics and some of today's most transformative technologies. The next breakthrough in AI might begin with a mathematical question asked centuries ago.
They explore the beauty of mathematics and why ideas developed with no obvious practical purpose can go on to reshape the world. Find out how asking fundamental questions can lead to extraordinary discoveries.
