Adrienne Rosen joined the Fellowship of Kellogg College in May 2004.Her association with the Department for Continuing Education dates from 1992 when she became a part-time tutor, subsequently taking up a position as Associate Tutor in 1996.Since then she has been involved with the Department,s Local History programme at every level, from dayschools, lecture series and weekly classes to the undergraduate Diploma and Advanced Diploma, the postgraduate M.Sc. in English Local History and the part-time D.Phil programme.In 2001 she succeeded Christopher Day as Director of the pioneering Advanced Diploma in Local History via the Internet, which each year enrols about 60 students from all over Britain and beyond who study entirely online.
Like all the best local historians she learned her trade on the Victoria County History and published several parish histories of very small places in Cambridgeshire.She has also contributed to the History of Parliament, the History of the University of Oxford and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.She discovered adult continuing education by accident while living in the United States and has worked in the field ever since, at the Workers, Educational Association and at OUDCE.
Since coming to live and teach in Oxford her interests in Local History have focused on Oxfordshire.From 1997 to 2004 she served as Honorary Editor of Oxoniensia, a journal dealing with the history, archaeology and architecture of the county, and was a committee member of the Oxfordshire Architectural and Historical Society.She has a longstanding interest in the history of towns and has recently founded the Chipping Norton Historical Research Group which is investigating the history of the town and its hinterland in north-west Oxfordshire.
