Contestations in Land & Agriculture: New Perspectives in Theology and Ethics

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.
