The MCR Committee

Hi! I’m Miriam. I am from Tbilisi Georgia, and doing an MPhil in International Relations. Outside of my studies, I enjoy art, cooking, and trying out new cuisines. I wish to make the MCR a safer and more inclusive space for all! Please reach out with any ideas or concerns.

Frankie is a Florida Man (and also Guatemalan). He is doing an MPhil in Modern European History. When not reading about the German-Latin American coffee trade, he enjoys swimming, eating Thai and Indian food, learning German, and going to pubs with friends.

Hi! I’m Alec. I’m from Stratford-upon-Avon and doing an MPhil in Economics. I moved to Oxford after my undergrad at Warwick. On the rare occasion that I have time outside my course, I like calisthenics, playing piano and going on very long walks and runs with my friends.

Bushra is pursuing a DPhil in Biochemistry, focusing on DNA replication and repair mechanisms. Apart from complaining about how long her day has been (every day), she spends her free time reading and attempting to write poetry and playing the piano.

Hi! I’m Ciara and I’m doing an MSt in German literature. I spend most of my time convincing people that Kafka is funny, but can otherwise be found at the MCR bar pretending to know how to play darts (pictured), attempting to juggle at Bops, or guilt-tripping people into coming to ‘crafternoons’. If you see a random ball of yarn anywhere in Oxford, it’s probably mine.

Pat is a History student specialising in the eighteenth-century. He is most commonly found trying to find decent coffee in Oxford, and planning the next big social engagement. He specialises in nuanced discussions about history & people that most find dull.

Aniket is a BPhil student in philosophy. When he isn’t busy arguing about philosophy, he can probably be found arguing about cricket. He also enjoys cooking and building lego in his spare time. Reach out to him if you have thoughts on how to make New College more welcoming for everyone!

Greg is a Civil Engineering student from New York. He specializes in getting evicted from sports grounds.

Charlotte is pursuing the MJur (and gets slightly annoyed at Oxford for being the only university where this degree is not called an LLM). She completed her legal training in Hamburg and Berlin and is now very excited to leave the law of German criminal procedure behind and focus exclusively on international law and commercial negotiation. In her free time, Charlotte loves trying out edible chemistry experiments (aka fermentation), sings badly in the Trinity choir and tries to find new ways to combine food and art into awesome MCR events!

Will is taking an MSt in English Lit, focusing on the twentieth century. When he doesn’t have his head in a book (or a pint), he enjoys running, playing the drums and writing.

Belle is reading for the DPhil in Classical Languages and Literature, specialising in the philosophy of ancient music theory. Born and raised in Shropshire, she previously studied in Edinburgh and Cambridge. When she’s not contemplating how to climb out of Plato’s Cave, you’ll find her rowing, reading terrible romance novels, and trying to pet every dog she sees.

Through my DPhil in Neuroscience, I try to understand why psychedelics can help people heal in various contexts and I study how they work using computational modeling of brain dynamics.

Hiya! I’m Keely, and I’m your Womens Rep. Aside from spending the majority of my time in the library and cafes - I swear my course’s reading list is never-ending - you can expect to find me crocheting, watching f1 or most likely either in front of or behind the bar :)
