Aaron and I were at graduate school at Oxford together. He was a genuine scholar who cared about knowledge and learning for their own sake. He was also deeply devoted to his community. I am shocked that he is no longer with us.

I thought that if I gave myself a bit more time to process I might find the words to do Aaron's memory justice. But it's no use. Such premature and sudden losses are cruel and always feel so senseless, regardless of the passing of time. I guess the only meaningful thing to do is to try and remember him in the way he deserved. Aaron was a wonderful colleague. Warm, witty, generous, and so engaging. Not only did he excel in his teaching and research, but in all other aspects of his role, too. I am grateful to have met him, to be inspired by him, grateful for all our conversations, interactions, and work together. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. They should know that he will be sorely missed in the academic community, too.

Aaron was a fascinating historian and one of the kindest and most passionate professors I every have had. I was very lucky to have Aaron as a tutor this year and he explained economic ideas so clearly that I now understand more about economics than I every thought I could. Aaron was always so patient and willing to go over any concepts, no matter how simple. Even in my MA he sat down with me to explain that stocks and shares are actually the same thing. Aaron also always showed great interest in essay ideas, however strange, and even found a play for me to analyse that fit an essay I was writing. Thank you Aaron for all the help you provided for me and all of your students! My deepest condolences to Aaron's family, friends and colleagues for their devastating loss.

As my personal tutor Aaron was always super supportive and helped guide me through my two years at university so far. I got into UCL from a bad school and an offer with lowered requirements and I was super under confident - thinking I would drop out before the end of my first year. I now can't wait to start my third and final year in September. Aaron played a big part in helping me persevere. Thank you for everything Aaron!

I consider myself lucky to have been a student who took a module taught by Dr. Aaron Graham. A hugely intelligent teacher, I found his seminars to be massively useful for understanding the specific content and improving my ability to be an overall good historian. His feedback was always hugely helpful. He will be sorely missed, my heartfelt condolences go to his family.

I will always remember the twinkle in Aaron's eye when we started talking about archival research for the first time in Oxford over 10 years ago.
Aaron was a brilliant thinker, and a careful trawler of less trodden archives. One who was not afraid of ledgers and knew how to make them tell stories untold.
Aaron was also a generous and kind friend with a penchant for board games, the news of his passing is devastating.

Aaron was a great historian and a lovely man and I've been shocked and saddened by his sudden passing. He was pretty much the first person I met when I came to UCL as a postdoc, as my shiny new office turned out to be, in fact, his current office, in one of those dingy basements off 24 Gordon Square. My God, I've never seen so many books! It was the kind of historian's office that you only usually see in films, complete with maps of Caribbean islands with coloured pins in them stuck to the few bits of wall that the books hadn't taken over yet. Aaron welcomed me in to nick half of this incredible space without batting an eyelid, and for the rest of that year we'd go for regular coffees together, during which I learned all about his fascinating research, and came to really admire his deep commitment to the communities at the centre of his work. Getting to know him then, and later working with him as a colleague after we both became lecturers at UCL, was a genuine privilege. All in all, I'm very grateful to have been able to cross paths with him during his all-too-short time on this earth. Rest in peace Aaron - you'll be missed.

I am heartbroken to hear of Aaron's sudden passing and send warmest condolences to his family and friends. Aaron was the consummate colleague and scholar.  He was someone who read everything, forgot nothing and shared the bounties of his work and knowledge without a second thought. I called on him frequently for help and guidance, and always received an e-mail-essay and some work in progress in response. Aaron's work will continue to shape the fields of legal history, economic history, and the history of Britain and its empire. Vale wonderful Aaron. What will we do without you?

I am shocked and saddened by this news. I met Dr Aaron Graham only briefly on a couple of occasions in a professional capacity, but was always struck by his impressive research, affable demeanour, and generosity in conversation. Among colleagues who knew him better than me, Aaron had a high reputation as a scholar and as a person. My condolences to all those who knew and loved Aaron. Rest in power.

I have just spent two semesters with Dr. Aaron Graham on his UCL Industrial Revolution module . He was a truly outstanding academic and teacher. I learnt massively from him, both thematically, but also scholarly skills. He made me so welcome, as both an inter-collegiate, and mature student. I was sure he would have continued to have an amazing top academic career.

I was lucky to have met Dr Graham through a research project he was working on. It was very clear that he was both in incredibly passionate and serious about the topic, and had a clear vision about what he wanted to achieve. The news of Aaron's passing has been a shock to the UCL community. Sending my sincere condolences to to his family, friends and colleagues.

The news of Aaron’s passing is devastating, and my thoughts are with Aaron’s family and close friends in these difficult times. I met Aaron recently at a staff away day shortly after joining UCL. I already knew some of his work and was a great admirer of his thinking. We had a brief chat and everything he said seemed extremely thoughtful, immensely illuminating and profound. We made plans to meet again to continue our discussions, and visit a museum that we were both interested in. None of this will now be possible, which is terrible. I can only begin to imagine how colleagues and students who had the pleasure to have spent more time with him must feel. He will be sorely missed.

Aaron and I went to Oxford together. He had a 'grownup' soul while I and others were still larking about as the teenager undergraduates we were. There was zero judgement from him, but a calmness that could not be ruffled. It was obvious he was intensely clever and he knew how to listen: he took you, as he took anyone, seriously.

This was very hard news to receive. Aaron was one of the first people I met when I visited England to interview for a position. Aaron was always charming and of course very clever, but also constantly sweet and patient. I was very blessed to have him in my life and I know he will be dearly missed.

Aaron was an exceptional young historian and for his life to be cut short is a tragedy for his family, friends, colleagues, students, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. I worked with him and we had many discussions about our common historical interests. We both spoke at a conference in the spring. I will miss his scholarship, his wit, and his friendship.

Dr. Graham was undoubtfully one of the most responsible and helpful professors that I have ever had in all of my undergraduate modules. His seminar was always challenging but so intriguing. I was nervous when I first selected the module, but he would always provide me with support and assistance that made me feel confident. He would always gave ample and detailed feedback on my essays and essay plans to help me think further and deeper. I am incredibly thankful and grateful to have him as my undergraduate professor and I will always remember this amazing experience as one of his student.

It is desperately sad to hear of Aaron's sudden passing. He was an incredibly kind, generous and witty man and his death comes as a great blow. Aaron was unwaveringly supportive and patient. When I was forced to miss several weeks of university earlier this year, he set aside hours of his time to get catch me up on what I had missed, and reassure me that everything was going to be fine. In times that were personally quite difficult, Aaron's gentle calmness and wry humour helped me get back on the straight and narrow. I know that my experience was not unusual. One could tell he cared a great deal for his students, not least by the enthusiasm with which he taught, which in turn inspired a similar enthusiasm amongst those who took his classes. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to Aaron and will remember him with fondness. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Aaron was an incredibly kind, thoughtful and compassionate man. He was both a brilliant historian and a truly collegial person. I know that our students loved him for his sparkling intellect and his gentle, encouraging style of teaching. We have lost a great star who we all believed was destined to shine even more brightly than he already had. Being far away from the department as I write, the speed with which this has happened is incomprehensible and surreal. He is and will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to Aaron’s family for this unbearable loss.

This is dreadfully sad news to hear. In 2021-22, I ended up in Aaron's MA module on the South Sea Bubble rather by accident, knowing very little about the early modern period and even less about economic history. Though I was initially sceptical about how much of the content I would be able to understand, Aaron's remarkable ability to break down tricky concepts and deliver information in an engaging way meant that I thoroughly enjoyed the seminars. His frequent and deeply insightful feedback on draft essay plans pushed me to write at a substantially higher level, and his advice carried over into the work I produced on other modules. I mourn the fact that future students will not be able to benefit from so accomplished a scholar and educator. My most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

The news of Aaron's death is a shock. I met him relatively recently and was looking forward to collaborating on the joint modules with Dartmouth College and UCL. His ideas were exciting and he had thoughtful plans for expanding the teaching and working with collections. How sad for students, colleagues and relatives that so many future opportunities will no longer be shared with him.

The news of Aaron's sudden passing has been a great shock to us all. My memories of Aaron are of a kind and generous colleague, who always had a moment to stop, chat and check how things were going with those around him, offering kind words of support and camaraderie. As our offices were close by, we would often bump into each other and pause for a moment to catch up and be inevitably delayed to wherever we were supposed to be going. My last memory of Aaron will be of marking the end of term with his characteristic wry humour and his unfailing smile. Aaron's passion for his subject and dedication to his students and colleagues was evident in all he did; he will be very much missed. My deep condolences to his family.

I am in deep shock at this terrible news. I met Aaron Graham last autumn, at a lecture; he wanted to work more with Special Collections, and we started to discuss how we could help international students and future courses he was planning. I only knew him briefly, but he was incredibly passionate about his field, knowledgeable and humble. You could also tell that he cared a great deal for his students and their learning. Myself and colleagues were very much looking forward to collaborating with him more; his friendliness, love of history and open nature left a real mark on me, and I'm sure on everyone else he met. I'm incredibly sorry not to have worked with him further, but will remember him fondly. Sending love and all good wishes to his family in this awful time.

Aaron was one of the first people I met in the department: he offered such a generous, kind and warm welcome for which I was so grateful. It was clear how brilliant he was as a scholar and I have fond memories of his wonderfully engaging talk at the departmental seminar this past year, delivered with his trademark wit. Conversations with students this week have highlighted how greatly valued he was as a tutor, endlessly supportive of those he taught. What a great loss to us all, my deepest condolences to his family.

I’m incredibly sad that we’ve lost Aaron so suddenly. He was a wonderful colleague, a lovely office neighbour, and a kind and decent man. It was clear from the moment he arrived here that he had an excellent mind and was going to have a stellar academic career, but it’s been particularly striking how many people valued him as a person - as a colleague, fellow researcher, an energetic collaborator, but most of all as a wry, witty, supportive tutor and friend. My deepest condolences to his family.

Aaron was one of loveliest colleagues I've known in academia - generous, witty and brilliant. I shared in common with him many interests that took us out of the hurly-burly of term-time deadlines. I will miss greatly the chats we had through our shared passion for public history - discussions that ranged high and low, even down to the minutiae of writing audioguide scripts.

We've all lost a cherished comrade, who will always be remembered for his great warmth and for the light he brought into our lives.

The passing of Aaron is unexpected and I am totally in shock. I am lost for words. As an intercollegiate student, I didn't know what to expect. Aaron reached out to me before the academic year to help me prepare for the module. He was always very helpful and understanding. He always had faith in my academic abilities, and was very encouraging. He was always so supportive. His seminars were challenging, engaging, fun. His seminars were the most interesting and I was happy to come to the seminar each week. I now regret not telling him how much I appreciated his seminars and everything he had done for me during the academic year. He made a massive contribution to our field and he was the most intelligent person I had ever met. He made my time more enjoyable as a UCL intercollegiate student. For this I am grateful and fortunate to have known him. You have inspired and touched all of us. You will be sorely missed. May you rest in Peace, Dr Aaron Graham.

I am in shock at such terrible news. Aaron was a great teacher who put lots of thought into preparing his seminars.  He was genuinely interested in the ideas of his students.  He taught me about the South Sea Bubble and I was inspired to write my dissertation on that period with Aaron as my tutor.  He was demanding but had already given me some great ideas and been generous with his time.  Such a sad loss.

My deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and students. I was fortunate to know Aaron as a fellow researcher through collaborating on a project and an edited book. He was a formidable researcher who had already had a brilliant career even in short space of time. I can't think of many or any other scholars who secured consecutive post-doc fellowships from the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust. The quality and quantity of his publications was astonishing - numerous articles in the most prestigious journals, books with more on the way. He published more than some academics publish in their whole career. Beyond his achievements, which were many, I found him very congenial to work with, with a good sense of humour, and a brilliant mind. He will be much missed by all who knew him and the wider discipline of history.

As an affiliate student, I was completely unaware of how my academic experience would unfold, but Dr. Graham would become someone who I could always reach out to for help. Not only did Dr. Graham reach out to me before classes to prepare me for his module, but he was always proactive in understanding that I was coming in halfway through the module and therefore was at a learning disadvantage compared to the rest of my classmates. The level of support Dr. Graham would tirelessly give me makes me regret even more that I could not return the favor. For that, I will always remember Dr. Graham and his kindness as a bright spot during my time as a UCL affiliate student.

The passing of Aaron is, I am sure, a shock to everyone including myself. Especially since I have had the pleasure of being under his tutelage for one of my modules during my MA History program. He was absolutely instrumental in broadening my vista into economic history, enriching my knowledge in this subject as we delved into the narratives surrounding the South Sea bubble of 1720, imbuing all of us as a class with the essential skills and techniques in interrogating the distant past.

I shall be forever grateful for his contributions to my development as a historian, and will miss him dearly. His affable pedagogical style, his attentiveness and support to all under his tutelage, and his encyclopedic knowledge will be a great loss to all who will come after us, and an emotional, sorrowful shock to all who have had the pleasure of knowing him.

I can now only hope that an appropriate memorial service will be conducted in his honour, and that his contributions to our field be recognised and remembered.

I will always remember Aaron and his lessons to be insightful and engaging. He was a very helpful and thoughtful tutor and I really respected the way in which he was so dedicated to helping anyone achieve the best of their abilities. You would never be able to fit what you wanted into his office hours as he had so much to offer and was always trying to challenge you to think further. Aaron was always willing to help if you had missed a seminar or did not understand something and often pushed for you to seek his guidance which was something I really appreciated. I will always be grateful for the help he gave me and the ways in which he challenged me to think about history differently. You will be sorely missed. May you rest in peace, Aaron.

As my instructor for the "South Sea Bubble" course, Aaron was instrumental in guiding us through an in-depth exploration of this fascinating historical period. He employed a wealth of historical resources and interactive classroom discussions, fostering a genuine passion for learning within each of us.

Aaron's dedication to his students was unparalleled. He actively engaged in multiple discussions with us regarding our coursework and provided detailed, invaluable feedback on our papers. I am particularly grateful for the guidance he offered in his comments on my own work. As a non-native English speaker studying abroad, Aaron's insights were tremendously helpful in my academic journey.

Aaron Graham was, without a doubt, a remarkable educator and researcher who left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of his students. His unwavering commitment to education and the pursuit of knowledge will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to have known him. May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy live on through the lives he touched and the wisdom he imparted.

One of the most engaging and imaginative tutors I have had the pleasure of being taught by during my time at UCL. Aaron's seminars were always a pleasure to attend, they were fun, challenging, and incredibly informative. He so ably distilled vastly complicated topics into manageable and understandable discussions that have informed every piece of work I have since completed for my degree.
For all of this I am incredibly grateful.
You will be sorely missed.

I don’t feel like I have the words to do Aaron’s memory justice. His passing feels so unexpected.

His classes were challenging but engaging, and I would always run over the time limit for his office hours because I wanted to hear more from him. I have so much respect for him and his teaching style. His intelligence and his dedication to his students will continue to be remembered and appreciated.

I am very grateful that I had Aaron for my personal tutor, he helped immensely with not only my studies but also personal development. Being an international student, I was able to adapt to UCL quickly because I shared with him my troubles and reflections and obtained very practical feedback. In my second year, he also gave me really insightful advice on postgraduate applications, volunteering, and career prospects. I still remember the meeting we had in late March.

I am incredibly grateful to have encountered such a caring and insightful tutor.

This feels surreal to write. Aaron was both my personal tutor, as well as my module professor this year. His passing has been devastating news for me, and my thoughts and prayers are with Aaron's family as they go through this difficult time.

Aaron was easily one of the best professors I've had throughout my undergraduate experience. The way he taught was so inherently unique, I feel that it challenged the way I thought of history itself, and has fundamentally impacted me in ways that I think will continue to reveal themselves over time. Aside from being a brilliant academic, he was also incredibly thoughtful of his tutees, and made sure we always felt supported throughout our degree. I am happy that our last conversation together was nothing short of positive, and I hope to carry his memory and impact with me throughout my life. I hope Aaron can look at us from where he is now and know that he is loved and respected, and that he will be deeply missed.
