Professor Robert Walker looks at global allocation of COVID-19 vaccine in new paper
Emeritus Fellow Professor Robert Walker has written a paper discussing how to distribute a COVID-19 vaccine across the world. Professor Walker is currently a Professor in the China Academy of Social Management and the School of Sociology at Beijing Normal University.
The paper, titled ‘Who should receive the COVID-19 vaccine first?’ has been published by the Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute (OPGDI), affiliated with Regent’s Park College at the University of Oxford.
The OPGDI focuses on the development of China-UK relations. It is an interdisciplinary body encouraging collaboration between researchers, practitioners and policy-makers across China and the UK.
The paper continues a conversation initiated during the first of OPGDI’s series of online ‘In Conversations’. Under the guidance of Dr Myra Blyth (Regent’s Park College), Professor Cécile Fabre (All Souls College) and Robert Walker discussed the Fair Priority Model for allocating vaccines against COVID-19 published recently in the US journal Nature.
✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.

Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
