Me and My Beliefs: Challenges of Identity and Society
Bishop Libby Lane is Britain’s first woman bishop in the Church of England.

On the panel:

Jas’ Elsner (Professor of Late Antique Art, Faculty of Classics, University of Oxford and project lead on Empires of Faith)

Shaista Aziz (freelance journalist and writer. Founder of The Everyday Bigotry Project)

This event will be chaired by Elleke Boehmer (Professor in World Literatures in English, University of Oxford)
