This tour highlights the University of Oxford’s relationship with contentious sources of revenue.
Learn about historic and modern wealth distribution networks within the University and engage with conversations of wealth inequality in a city experiencing a housing crisis. We ask why billionaires keep investing in the historic university, how massive philanthropic donations should be handled, and what effects such income streams have on notion of academic freedom and political neutrality.
This tour lasts for about 1.5hrs. We will walk no more than two miles, but please be aware that cobble stones and uneven pavement may restrict the accessibility of this event.

Super interesting tour about the uncomfortable income sources that have founded the uni. And thanks to Hera Jay for facilitating the discussions and being a great storyteller!

An excellent walking tour of Oxford that looks beyond the basic facts and challenges the traditional historical narrative through participant discussion. This tour is fabulously engaging, memorable and thought-provoking as information is not simply dished out to participants as they are instead encouraged to think critically about the physical environment and its links to the past. The best way to gain a deeper understanding of Oxford and truly engage with the city's history.

Attended the Follow the Money tour with Julie as our guide. It was fantastic - very thought provoking, educational, well researched, and provided a safe space for discussion. An essential part of any visit to Oxford.

Love all the Uncomfortable Oxford tours, but this one really has a twist that brings their discussion method to the early days of the University and propells you to the debate of medieval Oxford and England! It is so interesting, especially when we think about all the clichés circulated about the medieval times, but also how medieval symbols keep being utilised and reinvented in the present!
I really liked the story of Oxford's Jewish past and how the colleges benefitted from the lands becoming vacant after they were expelled from England in the 1300s.
A great twist on typical medieval narrative, with Uncomfortable Oxford's touch in creating lively discussions!
