Conference: theological and ethical perspectives on land use and sustainability

May 16, 2022

Contestations in Land & Agriculture is an international conference jointly hosted by the Laudato Si’ Research Institute, Campion Hall, and the McDonald Centre for Theology, Ethics and Public Life, both of the University of Oxford.

The conference will be held at Christ Church, University of Oxford from 16-18 May 2022 and will offer new perspectives from theology, ethics, philosophy and related fields on questions of land use and agriculture. Its aim is to map out what we might call a new “territorial” turn for global society.

There will be a special focus on contemporary issues and case-studies in land contestations from around the world, and the conference will feature a prestigious line-up of speakers and a number of associated panels and events.
