The network

Academics, authors and artists — in one room.

The people who have joined the Ministry on stage, and the team who bring them together.

A Ministry conversation in full flow

The Ministry is a growing network of people who bring together many perspectives on the world’s challenges. With our network we foster:

Literature and the arts brought into high-profile venues across the Oxford ecosystem.

Renowned authors — some of them global cultural icons — in carefully hosted public conversation that showcases and informs Oxford’s research.

Insights and narratives shared through short films and classroom discussion — humanities and sciences in conversation with authors and artists.
