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
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.
