Blogging through tough times

With the light at the end of the tunnel in sight after some challenging times, we hope that the opportunity to read interesting articles from fellow Hertfordians will remain a small comfort.

We are extremely lucky that so many members of the Hertford family have different areas of expertise, and we hope that these posts will be an indicator of the breadth of our collective knowledge and will be enjoyable to read!

If you’d like to get involved and write a post, please don’t hesitate in sending us an email to development.office@hertford.ox.ac.uk. We also welcome any comments and feedback that you may have!
