The conference will take place over three days, from Sunday 29 June to Tuesday 1 July 2025, with 13 invited speakers giving talks in 75-minute sessions, and 3 speakers giving contributed talks in 30-minute sessions. The conference will be hybrid, both in-person and online via Zoom. There is a £30 conference fee for in-person participants over the three days, or £10 per day for each day. Students, members of organizations supporting the conference, and anyone who is unemployed will receive a 50% discount on the conference fee. Sandwich lunch and morning and afternoon tea or coffee will be provided for all registered in-person participants. There will be limited number of places available for the conference dinner in Christ Church on the first night (29 June), with the charge indicated on the registration page. There is no conference fee for Zoom participants, but registration is required so we can send out the Zoom link.
The conference will move from Christ Church to All Souls after lunch on the second day, a five-minute walk (from Christ Church into Oriel Square, up Oriel Street, right onto High Street, and across High Street into All Souls). Please indicate when you register if you will need transport for this change of venue.
Both All Souls and Christ Church are a 15 to 20-minute walk or a short taxi ride from Oxford Rail Station. The Oxford Tube bus service from London and the Airline bus service from Heathrow and Gatwick stops on High Street by All Souls and on St Aldate’s by Christ Church.
