Graduation
June 19, 2009

I graduated today with an M.Phil in Peace Studies. My thesis – on the effectiveness of political comedy – was called ‘How Many Comedians Does it Take to Change a Government?’

To be honest, the fun part of doing a Masters is engaging with new ideas, reading obscure books and arguing in seminars. Graduation is just a dull ritual in Harry Potter costumes. Part of me wishes that I’d studied theology or astrophysics so that I could call myself a ‘Master of Divinity’ or a 'Master of the Universe'. I think ‘Master of Peace’ sounds like the lame one from Captain Planet.
