Reports and College Activities the libretto for a song-cycle based on Egyptian long-songs composed by James Whitburn for soprano Fatma Said. Research has been sustained by working with C. D. Hollings on the historiography of Ancient Egyptian mathematics, and a paper will appear in a volume published by the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics; this research was also featured in a video for the library’s ‘Parchment and Paper’ series (www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TUuJ5xpBNk&ab). An article on E. M. Forster, Egyptian antiquities and queer museum spaces has been published in the Polish Journal of English Studies (http://pjes.edu.pl/issues/7-2-2021/), and an essay on the rediscovery of Ancient Egyptian poetry will appear in the exhibition catalogue of the British Museum’s celebration of the anniversary of decipherment. My research project on The Life of Sinuhe still remains on hold, but short excerpts will be published in two articles for colleague’s Festschrifts. Peter Robbins (Physiology) Much of my time over the year has been spent trying to understand the longer-term effects of COVID-19 pneumonia on the lung. This work was undertaken using a new measurement technology that we have developed in collaboration with a physical chemistry group in Oxford over a period of more than a decade. The work on COVID-19 pneumonia has now been submitted for publication. Very pleasingly, the whole collaborative team associated with developing the measurement technology won this year’s (2022) Royal Society of Chemistry Sir George Stokes Horizon Prize. Ritchie Robertson (German, Emeritus) I retired from the Schwarz-Taylor Chair of German in September 2021. Before retirement, on 15 June 2021, I gave a valedictory lecture entitled ‘Goethe’s Faust II: The Redemption of an Enlightened Despot’, which has now appeared in Publications of the English Goethe Society, 21 (2022), 43-87. Colleagues and friends were kind enough to present me with a Festschrift entitled From the Enlightenment to Modernism: Three Centuries of German Literature. Essays for Ritchie Robertson, edited by Carolin Duttlinger, Kevin Hilliard and Charlie Louth (Cambridge: Legenda, 2021), which was handed over at a gathering in the Upper Library at Queen’s on 17 March. 22 The Queen’s College | College Record 2022
Together with Margit Dirscherl, I organized a conference on ‘The Heritage of Humanism and Enlightenment in Exile Literature’. held at St Hugh’s on 24-25 March, and on 19-22 April I attended a conference in Munich on the Enlightenment, where I gave the keynote address: ‘Zwei neuere Aufklärungskonzepte aus Großbritannien: Keith Thomas und David Wootton’. I have published a paper, originally given as the keynote at a conference of graduate historians: ‘Epilogue: Some Problems in Historical and Literary Periodization’, in Lucian George and Jade McGlynn (eds.), Rethinking Period Boundaries (Berlin: de Gruyter, 2022), pp. 231-52, and contributed two articles, ‘Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’ and ‘Heinrich Heine’, to the fourth edition of the The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2022). I also provided the introduction and notes to Allan Blunden’s new translation of Johann Peter Eckermann’s Conversations with Goethe, published in June 2022 in the Penguin Classics series. Reports and College Activities Christopher Rowland (Theology, Emeritus) A collection of published articles and essays was published earlier this year: ‘By Immediate Revelation’: the Nature and History of Apocalypticism, Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2022. Credit: John Cairns Macs Smith (French) The end of last year saw the publication of my first book, Paris and the Parasite (MIT Press). Much of this year was devoted to articles and talks connected to it. That included a foray into medieval Italian literature: I contributed a chapter on Dante Alighieri and street art to Dante Alive (Routledge) a forthcoming volume examining the poet’s impact on popular culture 700 years after his death. In November, I took part in the Dante After Hours event at the Ashmolean, giving a lecture and leading a stencil art workshop at which visitors could paint their own portrait of Dante. More recently, I completed an article on “Parkour Fails,” a genre of YouTube videos centred on a French urban extreme sport. I also gave my first public lecture in France in March, at the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte (DFK) in Paris. College Record 2022 | The Queen’s College 23
