The Lincoln Leads Seminar Series 2022 takes place on Tuesday evenings 8 February, 15 February and 1 March at Lincoln College, Oxford. Each panel features an Alumnus/na, a Fellow, and a Student of the College, who will respond to a topical question linked to their research or professional experience. Each seminar will start at 5.30pm and include a lively Q&A session, followed by more opportunities to discuss and enjoy the refreshments from 6:45pm onwards. We have a fantastic group of panellists scheduled for the series, who aim to invite non-specialist audiences into their spheres of expertise. We therefore hope that you are eager to join them in conversation, and learn more about the exciting and diverse research connected to Lincoln.

We are envisioning the event as a discussion on how truth and evidence may be dependent on the context. For example, the kind of evidence required by a physicist or an historian to trust a hypothesis, or the type of evidence required by a lawyer to consider something beyond reasonable doubt, can differ. Furthermore, the discussion could take a more philosophical perspective and even explore whether anything is irrefutable.
