We were delighted to admit three new academics to the Magdalene Fellowship today: Professor Thomas Krieg, Dr Julia Khodko, and Dr Dean Jobin-Bevans.

Professor Thomas Krieg is a College Lecturer in Medicine at Magdalene. His Kriegs’s main research interest lies in the development of drugs which are able to protect the mitochondria against ischaemic damage which occurs during a heart attack or stroke. He has keen interest in teaching and will be Director of Studies in Medicine Part IB at Magdalene, and directs the Therapeutics course for Year 4 to 6 at the Clinical School.

Dr Julia Khodko is a Visiting Fellow at Magdalene. She is an Assistant Professor in Art History, based at the School of Arts and Cultural Heritage at the European University at Saint Petersburg, Russia. For more than thirty years, she worked with Russian prints at the Print Department of the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, where she produced numerous scholarly publications and curated museum exhibitions devoted to eighteenth-century engravings. Her recent studies examine the transmission of images and figurative ideas from Europe to Russia through printed media, with particular emphasis on popular prints and devotional engravings

Dr Dean Jobin-Bevans is a Visiting Fellow of Music at Magdalene. His career has been a balance between research interests and various roles in academic leadership. His research has produced over 35 edited choral editions and two world premier recordings of choral music composed by Henry Aldrich, all under the banner of The Henry Aldrich Choral Project. A third CD project is currently underway to record choral and instrumental music by Aldrich and contemporaries, featuring the Magdalene College Choir under the direction of Magdalene Fellow and Director of Music, Mr James Potter (2022).

Join three leading figures in contemporary art for an evening of conversation, reflection, and fresh ways of thinking about colour, form, and making.

Vicken Parsons, David Batchelor, and Jeff McMillan come together in a rare public discussion, chaired by Richard Calvocoressi CBE. While their work takes very different forms, all three share a long and thoughtful engagement with colour and what it can do. How it shapes space, how it carries feeling, and how it connects to the material world.

The event is free and open to all, but registration is mandatory.
