As a Junior Dean, Zac assists the Dean in ensuring that the College remains a safe and inclusive place to live and study.

Zac is a 3rd year DPhil student reading for Theology. He specialises in Patristics (the study of the Early Church). His research is concerned with the interaction between early Christian thinkers and ancient philosophy, particularly the phenomenon of lived philosophy or philosophy as a way of life. His thesis is on St Gregory of Nazianzus and his concept of Christian philosophy and its practice.

All of our Junior Deans are graduate students who have received welfare-related training. A Junior Dean is always on duty each night and weekend. Students who wish to raise an urgent concern about the behaviour of another student or who wish to speak with a Junior Dean on an urgent welfare-related matter outside of office hours should contact the College Lodge (01865 272727). A porter will put you in touch with the Junior Dean on duty.

For non-urgent matters, students can contact the Junior Deans by email at junior.dean@keble.ox.ac.uk
