Jeremy England: Every Life Is On Fire Rhodes Trust 2023-11-29 | For our November Scholars’ Library, Jeremy England (New Hampshire & St John's 2003) discusses his book Every Life is on Fire. In conversation, with Samantha O'Sullivan (Maryland/DC & Magdalen 2022) amongst other topics, Jeremy will talk about thermodynamics and the origins of life, and if science can help us find purpose in the universe, and intersections between ideas from Torah and from science.--Why are we alive? Most things in the universe aren’t. And everything that is alive traces back to things that, puzzlingly, weren’t.For centuries, the scientific question of life’s origins has confounded us. But in Every Life Is on Fire, physicist Jeremy England argues that the answer has been under our noses the whole time, deep within the laws of thermodynamics. England explains how, counterintuitively, the very same forces that tend to tear things apart assembled the first living systems.But how life began isn’t just a scientific question. We ask it because we want to know what it really means to be alive. So England, an ordained rabbi, uses his theory to examine how, if at all, science helps us find purpose in a vast and mysterious universe.In the tradition of Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Every Life Is on Fire is a profound testament to how something can come from nothing.--Jeremy England (New Hampshire & St John's 2003) is a theoretical physicist who got his start in the Boston-area but now lives with his family in the Land of Israel. A native of New England, he received his technical training at Harvard (bachelors summa cum laude in biochemical sciences), Oxford and Stanford (PhD in physics while on a Hertz fellowship). He has been a visiting scientist at the Weizmann Institute, a lecturer and research fellow at Princeton, and until 2019 he was an associate professor in the physics department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now a Visiting Professor of Physics at Bar-Ilan University and Vice President in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at GlaxoSmithKline, Jeremy conducts both basic research on the origins of life and applied research in the area of precision medicine. As a scientist who has also received orthodox rabbinical ordination, Jeremy is keenly interested in the intersection between ideas from Torah and from science. He is author of a book about both topics titled Every Life Is On Fire.Samantha O’Sullivan (Maryland/DC & Magdalen 2022) is a Rhodes scholar-in-residence reading for a DPhil in Theoretical Physics. Sam graduated cum laude from Harvard with a A.B. in Physics and African American Studies and wrote her senior thesis at the intersection on the topic multilingual science communication. In the Louis Group at Oxford, Sam’s research applies algorithmic information theory to the evolution of biological systems. Sam is deeply curious about the intersections of physics and theology.

Scholars Library: Andrea & Jon Taylor-Cummings on The 4 Habits of All Successful Relationships Rhodes Trust 2023-10-25 | For our October Scholars’ Library, Jonathan & Dr Andrea Taylor-Cummings (Jamaica & Templeton 1989) discussed their book The 4 Habits of all Successful Relationships'. Andrea & Jonathan talk about their tips on how to be intentional in relationships, and what that means, how we can improve 'relational intelligence' and also ways to develop habits of success in all types of relationships.Andrea and Jonathan's core message is about taking personal responsibility for recognising and unlearning the habits that are unintentionally damaging relationships, and learning and practising new habits that strengthen relationships on purpose, starting with four fundamentals for success. This message is particularly important for busy professionals under stress (like many in the Rhodes community) because default behaviours under stress and hurry are incompatible with doing relationships well – as evidenced by the all too high break-up rates. If we want to create strong, flourishing relationships with the important people in our lives – our life partner, our children, our work colleagues – we must radically transform the way we do relationships at home and at work so that we can thrive – as individuals, as families, as organisations, as a society.

Scholars Library: Marilynn Richtarik on Getting to Good Friday Rhodes Trust 2023-09-22 | For our September event, were joined by Marilynn Richtarik (Kansas & Jesus 1988) on her book Getting to Good Friday, in conversation with Richard Hughes (Online Community Manager at The Rhodes Trust). Marilynn speaks about her journey into Northern Irish literature (during her time at Oxford), how each of her projects grew out of previous ones, and the background to this book specifically.Getting to Good Friday intertwines literary analysis and narrative history in an accessible account of the shifts in thinking and talking about Northern Ireland’s divided society that brought thirty years of political violence to a close with the 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. Drawing on decades of reading, researching, and teaching Northern Irish literature and talking and corresponding with Northern Irish writers, Marilynn Richtarik describes literary reactions and contributions to the peace process during the fifteen years preceding the Agreement and in the immediate post-conflict era. Progress in this period hinged on negotiators’ ability to revise the terms used to discuss the conflict. As poet Michael Longley commented in 1998, ‘In its language the Good Friday Agreement depended on an almost poetic precision and suggestiveness to get its complicated message across.’ Interpreting selected literary works by Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley, Deirdre Madden, Seamus Deane, Bernard MacLaverty, Colum McCann, and David Park within a detailed historical frame, Richtarik demonstrates the extent to which authors were motivated by a desire both to comment on and to intervene in unfolding political situations. Getting to Good Friday suggests that literature as literature—that is, in its formal properties in addition to anything it might have to ‘say’ about a given subject—can enrich readers’ historical understanding. Through Richtarik’s engaging narrative, creative writing emerges as both the medium of and a metaphor for the peace process itself.Part of the Lifelong Fellowship portfolio, The Scholars’ Library is a monthly book talk series, where Rhodes alumni can come together to present, discover and debate their literary works.
