The 15th Biennial Conference of the International Society of Religion,
Literature and Culture will be taking place at the University of Oxford
between 23-26 September 2010. This conference is on the topic of “Attending
to the Other: Critical Theory and Spiritual Practice” and will, we hope, be
building on many of the issues we have discussed in the postgraduate conferences
of the past three years. To this end, there are panel sessions in
‘continental philosophy of religion’, ‘critical theory’ and ‘German Idealism
and religion’ (as well as many others). Further details about the
conference, including a full call for papers, can be found at the website: www.theology.ox.ac.uk/ISRLC.

Everyone has their fingers crossed hoping that Pope Benedict XVI will accept Tom Wright & Co.’s invite to visit Durham. You can read more about it at the Centre for Catholic Studies website.
