The Queen's College Record 2023

On the flip side of the ‘comings and goings’ coin, a greater number than usual of early
career Fellows will be leaving us because they have accepted exciting opportunities
elsewhere. Dr Rachel Achs (eJRF, Philosophy) will be an Assistant Professor at
the University of California, Santa Cruz, Dr Marta Arnaldi (Laming JRF, Italian and
French translation) has taken up a research Fellowship in medical humanities and
translation studies at the University of Oslo, and Dr Andreas Ditter (CDF, Philosophy)
has accepted a post at University College London, as Dr Jennifer Edwards (CDF
in English) has done at the University of Warwick. Dr Sadie Jarrett (CDF in History)
will be a regulator in compliance and student protection in the Office for Students,
Dr Coraline Jortay (Laming JRF, Chinese) will be a permanent researcher at the CNRS
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in Paris, Dr Viktor Marinkov (CDF in
Economics) has taken a post at the University of Groningen, and Dr Jonathan Turner
(CDF in Law) will be at the University of Southampton.
Reports and College Activities
In addition to producing important scholarship, our Fellows remain dedicated tutors;
there, too, the College continues to enjoy considerable academic success, as the
list of University and College prizes on pages 33 and 34 details. Averaged over the
past five years, the College comes 6 th for Final Honour School examination results.
During the same period, fewer than 4% of our students received a lower secondclass
degree, and only two out of the College’s 450 students received a degree
classification below that. As it maintains its commitment to educating keen students
with tremendous potential from a wide range of backgrounds, the College remains
committed to helping all students achieve the highest levels of success they can attain.
I ended last year’s remarks by focusing on the College’s strengths: the personal
warmth of our close-knit community and our constant striving for academic excellence
and supporting each other. That tried-and-true recipe will no doubt continue to be
successful in the coming year.
