Jay Ruckelshaus (Indiana & St John's 2016) is a DPhil candidate in political theory at the University of Oxford. His research examines the ethics of political disagreement and asks to what extent citizens holding divergent conceptions of what it means to live a good life must nevertheless endorse a common project. He is especially interested in political polarisation, and his thesis aims to sketch an account of democratic discourse that leaves room for principled disagreement while advocating for a more active, “republican” notion of civic participation. Jay hopes to use these insights to pursue a career in public service after Oxford.

Here's a sneak peak at the #Rhodesscholar Magazine 2018! Do you like our front cover? It was created by Bronwyn Tarr (St Andrew's College, Grahamstown & Hertford 2009). You can also read the magazine on our website: https://www.rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk/n…/rho des-scholar-magazine/. All articles show how Rhodes Scholars are working in social justice.

Carley-Jane Stanton (Prairies & St Anne's 2016) is an MPhil Candidate in Environmental Change and Management at the University of Oxford. She studies community resiliency and economic opportunism following natural disaster through the experiences of morel mushroom pickers in Fort McMurray, Canada. Morels are edible fungi which appear following massive fires in northern forests. In Fort McMurray, they were picked by locals as a means of emotional and community recovery from disaster, as well as by outsiders to sell to a lucrative international market. She hopes to demonstrate how economic opportunism post-disaster-- even in an innocuous industry like morel picking-- has the potential to limit opportunities for developing social capital within communities, something of critical importance in the face of climate change. #Rhodesscholar
