IRSoc- Edward Chaplin, Former UK Ambassador to Iraq Speaker Event, Tuesday, May 14, 7:30pm
Where: Keble College
Fee: Free for members, £5 for guests. Life membership available on the door for £20. Entry includes an exclusive drinks reception with the speaker after the event.
In a 40 year career at the Foreign Officer, Edward Chaplin has served across Europe and the Middle East. In the mid 1980s he served as Head of Chancery in Tehran. Subsequently he has been Director of the Middle East and North Africa Department as well as Ambassador to Jordan, Iraq and Italy. With the Iranian elections fast approaching, Mr Chaplin will address us on the topic “Iran and the West: Will a new President make a difference?” This promises to be fascinating insight both into Iran’s internal politics as well as the prospects of resolving the ongoing stand-off over Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Oxford University School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography: Ethnographic Photography Exhibition, Thursday, May 16, 4:30pm

The department’s photography competition received over 130 submissions from 35 students. The exhibition will feature the nine shortlisted images selected by a panel of judges, and there will also be a silent auction of donated anthropological books. Exhibition organized by Visual, Material, and Museum Anthropology postgraduates Maria Cury and Alejandra Blohm.
Here's a poem to finish the email, as suggested by Claire Moryan. (Keep sending me poems and quotes, guys!! You don't want it always coming from me, do ya?!)
Let us live, my Lesbia, and love.
As for all the rumors of those stern old men,
Let us value them at a mere penny.
Suns may set and yet rise again, but
Us, with our brief light, can set but once.
One never-ending night must be slept.
Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred.
Then, another thousand, and a second hundred.
Then, yet another thousand, and a hundred.
Then, when we have counted up many thousands,
Let us shake the abacus,[3] so that no one may know the number,
And become jealous when they see
How many kisses we have shared.
Vivamus mea Lesbia, atque amemus,
rumoresque senum severiorum
omnes unius aestimemus assis!
soles occidere et redire possunt:
nobis cum semel occidit brevis lux,
nox est perpetua una dormienda.
da mi basia mille, deinde centum,
dein mille altera, dein secunda centum,
deinde usque altera mille, deinde centum.
dein, cum milia multa fecerimus,
conturbabimus illa, ne sciamus,
aut ne quis malus inuidere possit,
cum tantum sciat esse basiorum.
-Catullus 5
