  Inaugural Seminar 5.00 for 5.15 pm in the Simpkins Lee Theatre at LMH, followed by a celebratory drinks reception in the Monson Room. The Levin Junior Research Fellowship in Peace Studies, the first Peace Studies post in the history of Oxford, is named in memory of Jerry and Sis Levin, who dedicated their lives to the search for peace following Jerry Levin’s kidnapping in Beirut in the 1980s while he was CNN’s bureau chief. Endowed by the Levins’ children, the Fellowship is intended to support the research aspirations of an outstanding early-career academic, while also strengthening connections between scholarship and the wider national and international community.
