Professor Peter Pulzer (1929-2023)

It is with great sorrow that the College announces the death of Peter Pulzer, at the age of 93.

Peter’s family emigrated from Vienna to Britain in 1939. After studying in Cambridge, Peter was Tutor in Politics at Christ Church until coming to All Souls in 1985 as Gladstone Professor of Government. He was an Emeritus Fellow from 1996.

Our sympathies go to Peter’s family.
