Join us for an engaging online academic discussion exploring the literary imagination of C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. The speakers — Dr Michael Ward and Dr Eduardo Gutiérrez González — will delve into the ways Lewis presents themes of polity, leadership, freedom, slavery, war, and peace, drawing connections between the fantastical worlds of Narnia and profound questions about human conflict and cultural transformation. The conversation will focus on the cultural role our narratives and social imaginaries play; it will aim to provide insights into the intersection of literature, philosophy, and theology, offering fresh perspectives on how these themes resonate with peace-building, politics, and reconciliation in contemporary society. All are welcome!
