This week we were excited to host the 2nd Gerhard Lecture at Fitzwilliam. This annual lecture celebrates the College's historic - and ongoing - connection with Catalan studies, and we were honoured to hear from philosopher Marina Garces on the topic of promise. We are particularly grateful to the Institut Ramon Llull for their continued support, and to Familia Torres, who provided us with delicious Catalan wines for our reception and dinner.
