Educational Programmes
All students of the OCHS are members of Oxford colleges and are studying for Oxford degrees from undergraduate to doctoral levels. Students are reading for degrees in the faculties of Theology, Oriental Studies, History and Anthropology. Since 1998, the Centre has been inviting scholars to deliver lectures and tutorials at Oxford University. These include recipients of the very successful Shivdasani Visiting Fellowship, which helps Indian scholars come to Oxford every term. Through these fellowships and student scholarships the Centre effectively encourages intellectual understanding between cultures of learning. The Centre offers regular lectures and seminars at Oxford, interdisciplinary and broad in their range, including the named Majewski, Wahlstrom and Ford lectures.

Famous quotes containing the word educational:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
