On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In collaboration with the Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics, the Blavatnik School of Government welcomes Anne Guillard (University of Geneva) for a public webinar to discuss her work on Christianity and democratic citizenship in plural societies.
Under the influence of post-secularity, some Christian movements around Europe are reasserting the relevance of Christianity in politics. Anne will discuss how this re-assertion is inundated with distrust of the secular and relative self-othering of Christian communities from wider society. At the crossroads of political theory, political sociology and Christian theology, she will explore a ‘vision of the common’: can Christianity (that is, different expressions thereof) constructively and humbly contribute to the common good when Christianity is one among many voices?
Sophia Johnson (University of Cambridge) will offer a response based on her research into the reception of ideas of the ‘covenant’ in Christian political thought. Marietta van der Tol (Blavatnik School of Government) will offer a response based on her research on the visibility of religious diversity in public space.
