Resident Tutor
Aurelia Eburne
Aurelia’s role as Resident Tutor involves supporting wellbeing, safety, and enrichment within the College community, as first-responder to out-of-hours incidents and by actively contributing to College life through student events and outreach.
Aurelia is currently completing a PhD in Garden History, focused on English Catholic households during the early modern period, and their gardens as personal, artistic, and devotional responses to state persecution. Her academic background is in Classics (BA and MA at Durham), with interests in in the ancient depiction of landscape in art and Latin poetry and its later reception. She also teaches Latin in the local community.
Beyond academia, Aurelia volunteers with special collections and is passionate about outreach and collaboration with the heritage sector, particularly projects that explore how people engage with history through gardens and outdoor spaces.
