Katherine Rundell, Fellow of All Souls, has won the Baillie Gifford Prize for non-fiction for

her book Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne.

With great sorrow the College announces the death on 3 November of Lisa Lodwick, at the age of 34. She had been suffering from breast cancer.

Lisa studied Archaeology and Anthropology as an undergraduate at Hertford College, and continued to her doctorate at Oxford in 2014.  She then had a position at Reading University before being elected to a Post-doctoral Research Fellowship at All Souls in 2017.  Lisa’s research concerned the relationship between agriculture and urbanisation in prehistoric and Roman Europe.  She was about to take up a University Lecturership in Environmental Archaeology at Cambridge.

Lisa will be greatly missed, and our sympathies go to her husband and family.

An audio recording of the memorial service held for Lisa can be found here.
