Unable to meet in person during the coronavirus pandemic, in Trinity term 2020 we set up a series of online lectures by Merton Fellows. We are incredibly grateful to our Fellows for sharing their expertise, which spans a wide range of subjects. The lecture series showcased the extraordinarily vibrant intellectual culture for which the College is known.
