Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

Gemma Simmons CJ (Margaret Beaufort Institute, Cambridge): Imagine there’s a Heaven (it’s easy if you try): Ignatius of Loyola and imaginative contemplation.
Imagination lies at the heart of the Ignatian contemplative tradition, rooted in St. Ignatius’ own conversion through learning to take feelings and fantasy seriously as part of the human capacity to engage directly with God. How reliable are imagination and desires as a basis for an authentic spiritual life?
