The EGO committee is here to help. Feel free to drop any of us an email with questions or concerns that you think we may be able to resolve.

President: Kylie Murray, Lincoln: Kylie is working on a DPhil about medieval Scottish dreams and visions. As President, she co-ordinates EGO’s activities and represents student views to the Faculty through various committees. She is happy to hear from anyone with worries/concerns/questions/comments about their graduate experience, and will do all she can to help graduate students in English enjoy their time in Oxford to the max.

Academic Affairs: James Wright, Magdalen: James is in his first year on the DPhil, working on Piers Plowman and Anglo-Norman literature. He is your Academic Affairs officer, and looks after (guess?) Academic Affairs for the English Graduates; this means he is here to answer any questions you may have and to pass on any concerns to the faculty.

Social Secretaries: Alex Niven, St Johns, and Michelle Witen, St Johns: Alex and Michelle are both writing DPhils on Modernism and Music. They are responsible for running social events for English graduates, including the weekly EGO lunch. Anybody with ideas for upcoming social events should drop them an email.

Communications Officer: Alys Moody, Jesus: Alys is in the first year of her DPhil on modernism and hunger. She is responsible primarily for running this website. She also updates the EGO noticeboard in the faculty. If you come across errors in the site, if you have an announcement you’d like posted on the News page, if you have an event to be added to the calendar, or if you know of a conference that isn’t listed on our conferences page, just get in touch with her.

Library Rep: Richard Webster, Lincoln: Richard is a third-year DPhil student working on English preaching between 1625 and 1642. He represents graduate students on the English faculty’s library committee.

Welfare Officer: Oren Goldschmidt, Jesus: Oren is in the first year of a DPhil on Virginia Woolf. He is the Welfare and Mentoring rep for EGO and is happy to be contacted with any problems/questions.

MSt Reps (1780-1900): Emily Webb, Hertford and Justin Tackett, Pembroke: Emily and Justin are both on  the MSt 1780-1900 course. Justin is focusing on late Victorian literature, while Emily loves all things Keatsian. Emily and Justin can take all your praises and moans about the course straight to the mysterious powers that be at the faculty. Please get in touch with any MSt issues or suggestions whether they be academic, social, or otherwise directed.

MSt Rep (1550-1780): Lindsey Meyers, Lincoln: Lindsey represents  MSt students on the 1550-1780 strand.  Her research interests are in classical reception and artistic self-fashioning, especially in the works of John Milton and James Joyce.

Teaching and Careers Officer: Diane Alff, St Johns: Diane is in the second year of her DPhil on craftsmanship in Old English literature. She is the EGO Teaching and Careers Officer, which means that she organises workshops to help students think about life after the DPhil.
