Follow the Money - City Tour

This tour of Oxford explores the University of Oxford’s relationship with contentious sources of revenue. 

Learn about historic and modern wealth distribution networks within the University and city from a current researcher. On this tour we discuss current issues surrounding university funding, wealth inequality, and processes of gentrification. Join us in analysing why billionaires keep investing in the historic university, how massive philanthropic donations should be handled, and what effects such income streams have on academic freedom and political neutrality.

All our tours are led by university researchers who have completed our official Uncomfortable Oxford training programme. Our guides combine expert knowledge and performance, ensuring each tour is a fun and educational experience.
