OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Laudato Si’ Research Institute, based at Campion Hall, and the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics and Public Life are jointly hosting an international academic conference in Oxford, 16-18 May
The conference will provide analysis of contemporary issues in land use, ecology and sustainability from the perspective of ethics, philosophy, and world religions, with a special emphasis on the Catholic social tradition. It will relate this to contemporary political and societal trends such as nationalism, protectionism, sustainable development, and ecological civilisation.
There will be a list of high-profile speakers, including Emmanuel Katongole, Ellen Davis, and John Berkman, as well as panel events and a film showing.
Registration is subsidised at £50 student rate (£80 standard rate), including lunch and a wine reception.
Religious ministers or religious sisters and brothers of all denominations, and those working in charitable agencies, should choose the student registration (£50) at checkout.
