Description

Join the other delegates and plenary speakers on a Preconference walking tour in Oxford. Join a university-educated guide, with years of experience and local knowledge of Oxford City and colleges. During the tour you'll see the dreamy spires of one of the oldest universities in the world on a guided walking tour, go inside some of the city’s most historic colleges, such as New College, founded in 1379 and more recently seen in the Harry Potter films and television productions of Inspector Morse and Lewis. Also you'll visit Exeter College, founded in 1314, and another favorite on most tours. There will be a short stop by Hertford College, with its romantic façade and Bridge of Sighs, instantly recognizable from Brideshead Revisited. In the University Library, you'll learn about the collegiate system unique to Oxford and Cambridge and you'll discover famous alumni who studied and taught at the university, including the infamous Dr Spooner, whose portraits hang in New College Dining Hall and whose name is given to the playful linguistic phenomenon of spoonerisms.
