31940: Reading for lockdown

<p dir="ltr">During lockdown, teaching and having meetings online has kept me pretty busy. Our students have been brilliant - understanding, flexible, and accommodating. I'm spending a lot of the day online and have become surprising comfortable with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Panopto, and so on, but I noticed that there were a lot of requests for reading suggestions on social media, so I asked my lovely communications and events colleagues if we could host a 'literary clinic', and they made it happen. I receive the enquiries and answer by email. So far I've had requests for crime novels with no gore, intelligent romances, armchair travel, novels about the sea, non-linear novels with a different perspective, stories about Canada from two hundred years ago, and many more. https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/about/literary-clinic </p>
