Author: Milan
In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.

Thank you for sharing this photograph and event with us.
Co-incidentally I have spent much of the weekend reading Fathers: A Literary Anthology. It is a collection of essays and poems from an A-List of writers about their fathers. The writers include Margaret Atwood, Winston Churchill, Alice Munro, Michael Ondatje, Virginia Wolf, e.e. cummings, Mordechai Richler, etc.
The editor has been collecting these essays for 25 years and assembling the anthology for five, including the necessity of obtaining permission for their inclusion. This first printing is a limited first printing of 4000 copies available on Amazon.
