Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency.

Bio
Prof. Janet Browne’s interests range widely over the history of the
life sciences and natural history. At Harvard she teaches an
introductory history of Darwinism, from Darwin’s day to now. She is
greatly interested in the history of animal and plant collecting, old
museums, voyages of exploration, garden history, and the science and
religion controversies. Up until six years ago she lived and worked in
England, mostly Cambridge and London. During that time she specialised
in reassessing Charles Darwin’s work, first as an associate editor of
the early volumes of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, and more
recently as author of a biographical study that integrated Darwin’s
science with his life and times. The biography was received generously
both in the UK and USA, and awarded several prizes, including the James
Tait Black award for non-fiction in 2004 and the Pfizer Prize from the
History of Science Society.
