Please join students and staff for the Sheldonian Series, a new event convened by the Vice-Chancellor, which aims to promote discussions about the big issues of the day, informed by our commitment to free and inclusive speech, diversity of thought and the vibrant exchange of ideas. This event will feature scholars and voices from a range of fields and viewpoints. The event will explore ‘Democracy’: what are its prospects and what role do we as members of the University community play?
