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
This series aims to shine a light on the integral role of Black poetic voices in the development of western, and particularly British, spirituality. It will reflect on the evolution of a culture that has Grime artists releasing worship songs and gospel choirs in royal weddings and coronations. These events invite prominent poetic and theological voices to reflect on their own work and on the art that has inspired them, through a mixture of readings, interviews and Q+A.
In the third session on 6 November, Professor Willie James Jennings will reflect on his theological and poetic work and on the art that has inspired him through a mixture of readings, interview and Question +Answer session.
