OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

How do Christian trees behave, and how have Christian humans interacted with them? Drawing on historical examples of religious plant behaviour in the Christian world, this talk explores tree piety as well as the piety of humans who mingle with trees. I shall suggest that trees may have played a more active part in the Christian religion than scholars and believers tend to give them credit for.
