Conferences at OCMS
In our mission statement we state that OCMS exists ‘to convene practitioners, scholars and leaders in creative and prophetic dialogue’ and one way we do this is by ‘fostering spaces where scholarship and practice interface for mutual learning’.
Hosting and participating in conferences, whether in Oxford or in other settings, is an important way in which we seek to fulfil this part of our vision. We always do this in partnership with other institutions, organisations and networks. Below you will find news of upcoming events and reports of past conferences.
