Here you will find information on the history of the Oxford University Strategic Study Group. For information on speakers the Group has hosted, please look at the speaker information pages or click on one of the Termcards to the left.

Please note that information on past speakers does not list (or include biographical material for) all those who have given a talk since records began to be held on this site in Michaelmas 2005, only entries provided or verified by the speakers at the time they visited OUSSG.

This page is still under development - further information on the history of the group is to be added in due course.
