Layla Moran writes: \u2018\u2026 Context \u2026 explores Oxford as a regional centre with a local focus. But with its global profile, it is not surprising that what happens here reverberates around the world. How to deal with contested heritage has been at the forefront of our minds in Oxford as we have grappled with the flashpoint issue of removing the statue of Cecil Rhodes from Oriel College.\u2019<\/p>\n
