40 YEARS OF CO-EDUCATION AT QUEEN’S In 1979 the first cohort of women students joined Queen’s. 40 years later, and with over 1000 female students having passed through Front Quad, the College community set out to celebrate this important and historic milestone. To mark the anniversary, a group of Queen’s women from all four decades joined with the College to plan a series of events and initiatives to forge connections across the generations and build an ongoing network and legacy for all women at Queen’s. Old Members’ Activities Our thanks go in particular to the then Director of Development Anna Thorne, who was responsible for driving the anniversary plans forward; to the Head of Communications, Emily Downing, for her fantastic work on the ‘Shining a Light’ Exhibition that remains on view around the College; and to Jen Stedman and Henry Cosh in the Old Members’ Office for entering into the spirit of the celebration, for their hard work and support, and for keeping us on track. Working groups focussed on four main strands of activity: Archive, Celebrate, Lobby and Network. Archive Over the last 18 months Alison Sanders (née Spargo; PPE, 1979) and Christine Smith (Modern Languages, 1979) built an online archive to commemorate the 40 years of coeducation at Queen’s. In the ‘Back to the Future’ section, there are memories from Fellows, staff and students about the momentous decision to admit women to the College and the experiences of everyone involved with the College following their arrival. In addition to the fascinating written memories there are also video interviews with Professor Kenneth Morgan and with a group of the female 79ers conducted by Guto Harri (PPE, 1984). Michael Riordan, the College Archivist, also researched the College’s relationship with women before 1979. The second section, ‘Women of Queen’s’, celebrates the women who attended or worked at the College over the last 40 years and includes the ‘Shining a light’ series of photographic portraits. There is also a wealth of memories from Queen’s women on the theme of ‘What Queen’s means to me’. ‘40 years in 40 Objects’ is an eclectic visual collection of pictures and 3D objects (making best use of new technology) which are of significance to the spirit and the journey of the women who have been and are part of College life. The items included range from the statue of Queen Philippa, in whose name the College was founded, College Record 2020 | The Queen’s College 89
