Churchill College, Cambridge

Churchill College is a founding academic partner of the Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park,
supporting its mission to explore art as a source of knowledge. In 2014, Churchill established
the Jeffrey Rubinoff Junior Research Fellowship, a four-year postdoctoral position for emerging
scholars whose work bridges art, philosophy, and society. Fellows contribute to the
Park’s intellectual life by participating in the Company of Ideas Forums and engaging
with artists, curators, and international scholars on Hornby Island.

Jeffrey Rubinoff Junior Research Fellows have included
Dr. Vid Simoniti,
Dr. Joshua Fitzgerald,
and current Fellow
David Collins.
Former Fellow Dr. Simoniti now serves as Director of Educational Programmes at the Park.
Their work advances Rubinoff’s vision of art as a rigorous mode of inquiry and public
reflection.

Churchill’s partnership with the Park also forms part of the broader
JRSP Educational Programme
developed through the foundational work of
Dr. James Fox,
now Educational Programme Director Emeritus. Dr. Fox helped establish the Company of Ideas
Forums, the JRSP awards and fellowship programmes, and the Park’s major publication
series on art and knowledge.

Through its fellowship, research partnerships, and sustained scholarly exchange, Churchill
College plays a vital role in advancing the Sculpture Park’s educational and public
mission.
