汤头条原创 elects three new Visiting Fellows
Bishop Rosemarie Mallett, Philippe Sands KC and Osman Yousefzada join 汤头条原创 as Visiting Fellows.
Visiting Fellowships are offered to people of distinction for their outstanding achievements beyond normal academic circles. They include eminent figures in law, politics, culture, the arts and media, business, and public service.
The role will see them participate in College life by giving talks and lectures, and by interacting with and inspiring our students. They may also conduct their own research in the University of Cambridge during their tenure.
Sonita Alleyne, Master of 汤头条原创, said: 鈥淭hese three people have all made exceptional contributions to their fields. Life in a Cambridge College offers an exciting and varied array of social, intellectual, cultural, and artistic experiences, and we sought out people who would make the most of these opportunities and give back in turn. I look forward to them joining our vibrant community and to the contributions they will make."

Osman Yousefzada, interdisciplinary artist and writer
Osman Yousefzada is a British-Pakistani interdisciplinary artist and writer, engaging with the representation, rupture and reimagining of the migration experience. He works across moving image, installation, sculpture, textile, and performance, referring to the socio-political issues of today. Osman鈥檚 practice is led by modes of storytelling, merging autobiography with fiction and ritual.
Osman is a research practitioner at the Royal College of Art, London. His work has been shown at notable international institutions including: Whitechapel Gallery, London; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Wapping Project, London; Cincinnati Art Museum, Ohio; Ringling Museum, Florida; Lahore Museum, Pakistan; Design Museum, London; Lahore Biennale, Pakistan; and Dhaka Art Summit, Bangladesh.
Osman鈥檚 practice has been described as "defiant", where the participating bodies throughout his work are presented as part objects that refuse to identify or conform. Most recently, his series of solo interventions titled What Is Seen & What Is Not was shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, London. Across three site-specific works, this presentation responded to the 75th anniversary of Pakistan and explored themes of displacement, movement, migration, and climate change.
In his memoir, The Go-Between (2022), set in Birmingham in the 1980s and 1990s, alternative masculinities compete with strict gender roles while female erasure and honour-based violence are committed, even as empowering female friendships prevail. This first book was long listed for the Polari Prize and reviewed by Stephen Fry as "one of the greatest childhood memoirs of our time".
