We are very sad to inform you of the death of Professor Martin McLaughlin, Agnelli-Serena Professor of Italian Studies from 2001-2017, and an Emeritus Fellow of the College.
Martin studied at the University of Glasgow and at Balliol College, Oxford. After a lectureship at Edinburgh University (1977-1990), Martin was University Lecturer in Italian and Student (Fellow) of Christ Church (1990-2001), before his election to the Serena-Agnelli Chair.
Martin continued to be actively involved in the life of the Magdalen community following retirement and especially through his recitation of the address to the haggis at Burns’ Night dinners.
The College remembered Martin at this year’s Burns’ Night dinner. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Catherine, and their wider family.
