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.

In an effort to generate more discussion and collaboration on the scholarly study of religious naturalism, the Editorial Board of the Journal of the Oxford Graduate Theological Society is organizing a reading group on Alan Moore and Stephen Bissette’s influential run of Swamp Thing (1984–1987) and academic literature related to its sociohistorical context and themes. Moore’s writing explores sacred conceptions of nature, non-human life, magic, and psychedelic experiences. Brought to life by Bissette’s art, Saga of the Swamp Thing is perhaps the definitive tale of ecospirituality in the comics medium. All humans (and plant-monsters) are invited to join us to discuss this influential work.
