Professor Christopher Hood (1947-2025)

With great sorrow the College announces the death on 3 January of Christopher Hood CBE FBA, at the age of 77.

Christopher came from the LSE to Oxford in 2001 as Gladstone Professor of Government and a Fellow of All Souls.  Since retirement in 2014 he was an Emeritus Fellow of the College.  Christopher’s research concerned public administration and regulation, and his most recent book, on the history of public expenditure control in the UK, was published in 2023.

Our sympathies go to Christopher’s family.
