Social responsibility, widening participation

Oxford and Manchester collaboration. Clive Agnew, Vice-President for Teaching, Learning and Students, spoke at the launch of the Goldsmiths Centre for Philosophy and World Religions at the Whitworth Council Chamber, University of Manchester, 28 Nov 2019. The new centre is associated with the OxNet programme, with which the Dept of Religions & Theology is partnered. The programme is designed to attract A-level students located in the North of the UK, selected by Pembroke College, Oxford, with the aim of encouraging the study of religions and theology at university, among other areas in the humanities. Michael Hoelzl will co-ordinate an OxNet evening seminar series given by Manchester-based lecturers entitled ‘Religion and Knowledge' (early 2020) and Ketan Alder and Kamran Karimullah will host and contribute to the Easter 2020 OxNet conference, also located at the University of Manchester.
