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.
