Congratulations to alumnus Dr Dmitri Levitin on winning a @dandavidprize.org. Dmitri says: “It's no coincidence that I turned to early modern history while studying at Selwyn: for the last 50 years, it has been one of the world’s great centres of excellence in the subject.”

Very proud of the @selwyn1882.bsky.social students who received their MAs today. This was the generation whose studies were disrupted by the pandemic, and they’re fine young people who deserve this moment of celebration.
