Mr James Forsdyke

Prior to joining Campion Hall, I studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, graduating with a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. During this time, I developed a particular interest in Practical Ethics. As an undergraduate, I also spent time working on the Oxford Union committee and later served as Co-President of both The Brasenose College PPE Society and The Addington Debating Society. Here at Campion Hall, I am delighted to be serving as the current MCR President.

In March 2022, I began working with fellow students and academics on the Oxford University Free Speech Forum, the aspiration of which was to construct a framework of guidelines in order to facilitate free discussion during events and debates held at the university. I was a panellist in one of the subsequent ‘Debating the Difficult’ events which implemented the framework, during which I spoke alongside Lord Falconer, Baroness Finlay, and Yuan Yi Zhu, on the ethics of assisted dying. 

I have also written about philosophy and current affairs for various journalistic publications. I am looking to continue my studies into a PhD.
