I would be interested in attending other events at the Institute, especially in Russian/Soviet/post-Soviet history and women's/gender history.

His approach was always positive, supportive, and accompanied by an appreciation of the wonderful absurdities of human life. The welcoming hospitality he extended to his students was relaxed and genuine, and I left his supervision sessions feeling positive and reassured. He could usually pinpoint the exact solutions to academic problems which overwhelmed us, and his modesty and approachability and crucially his availability for impromptu discussion made it possible to succeed. I mourn his loss, and cherish the memories. I was supervised by Professor Collinson for my MA dissertation at Kent.
