9 Revd Dr Martin Camroux Theology, 1969
Martin has published a new book, Keeping Alive the Rumor of God: When Most People Are Looking the Other Way (Wipf and Stock, 2020).
‘Across the western world the traditional picture of God is dying and much institutional religion collapsing, but
the mystery of our human life is of an inner depth which is not simply physical
or material. Marvel, mystery, wonder, beauty, love, the numinous, the mysterium tremendum, remain and the God experience hasn’t gone away. What I am trying to do is describe this experience in such a way that those who have not had
it can get a glimpse of it from inside and understand how it can give life meaning and purpose.’

13 Sue Unerman Modern History, 1979
Sue has released a new book: Belonging: The Key to Transforming and Maintaining Diversity, Inclusion and Equality at Work (Bloomsbury, 2020).
‘There’s never been more discussion around diversity and inclusion in the workplace. From gender pay gaps and the #MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter, it seems that every organisation has finally recognised that lasting change needs to happen. Various studies show that the most successful and productive senior management teams are those which are truly diverse and eclectic. Yet there remains only eight female CEOs
of FTSE 100 boards, and only ten BAME people working in leadership roles across companies in the FTSE 100. The lessons in this book will help us work together to build a better workplace where everyone feels they belong.’ Esquire magazine
has called Sue’s latest work: ‘The most important business book of the year’.
14 Susie Day
MSt English, 2001

The novel sees 11-year-old Max and his sisters run away to Snowdonia to hunt a treasure-hoarding dragon. It explores masculinity, loss and what happens if you keep an earthworm in your pocket as
a pet. Susie studied for both her BA and MSt at Mansfield. After deciding to write books instead of her DPhil, she worked for 12 years at St Clare’s, Oxford, supporting the welfare of international teenagers.
