Oxford SU Postgraduate Storytelling Series

This event is organized by Oxford SU and is taking place at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.

The Oxford Postgraduate Storytelling Series continues with Stories of Impact, bringing together postgraduate students for an evening of reflection and dialogue focused on leadership, advocacy, and community impact.

This session explores how postgraduate students navigate transition, responsibility, and challenge, and how these experiences shape their leadership and engagement within and beyond the University. Through personal storytelling, speakers reflect on moments of change, perseverance, and growth, highlighting Oxford as a space where individual journeys translate into collective impact.

The event showcases the diverse ways postgraduate students contribute to change across disciplines, institutions, and communities, demonstrating how leadership is exercised in practice and how impact is built through sustained commitment.

The event will feature four postgraduate students sharing personal stories connected to the theme, followed by an interactive audience Q&A.
