A new photographic exhibition marks 50 years of coeducation at Jesus College.
In Michaelmas Term 1974, Jesus College became one of the first five all-male Oxford colleges to admit female undergraduate students.
To mark the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Jesus, this photographic exhibition celebrates a watershed moment in our history, and recognises the continuing transformation of our community over the past fifty years. The women depicted in the exhibition – current students, members of staff, academic fellows, and alumni – were chosen by College members for their distinctive contribution to the life of our institution, both within and beyond its walls.
The photographs have been created by Oxford artist Philippa James, known for her collaborative projects with women. Philippa’s work has been exhibited nationally, including at The National Portrait Gallery, and she is the author of the photobook 100 Women of Oxford.
