Seeking Wisdom 2025
Friday 21 – Saturday 22 March 2025
Magdalen College, Oxford
How can postgraduates, postdocs, and academics at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes approach their academic disciplines as Christians? What does it mean to respond to a Christian vocation and to honour God in university life?
Developing a Christian Mind: Seeking Wisdom examines these questions in five disciplinary streams: Humanities, Natural Sciences including MPLS, Medical Sciences, Philosophy & Theology, and Social Sciences & Law. Oxford academics and postgraduates speak and lead discussion for each stream. Past attendees are encouraged to come, listen to new talks, and take part in discussion with new attendees.
There are limited places available for the Friday three course meal at New College so register soon to avoid disappointment.
