Pusey House Lectures and Events

There are two lecture series at Pusey House: the Recollection Lectures, which are about recalling the major themes and thinkers of Christian history, and the Faith in Public Life lectures. Additionally, there are also colloquia and conferences during term and sometimes also outside of term time.

Recollection Lectures take place in the chapel or Ursell Room in Pusey House, at 16:00 (unless noted otherwise). Tea and coffee is served before the Recollection Lectures in the Hood Room beforehand from 15:15. The Faith in Public Life lectures tend to take place on Mondays at 18:15.
