**Please note our eligibility criteria: This event is for University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes postgraduates, postdocs, and academic staff. If you do not fit these criteria (including DCM alumni and continuing education students), please complete this and we will review your request.

How can postgraduates, postdocs, and academics at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes approach their academic disciplines as Christians? What does it mean to respond to a Christian vocation and to honour God in university life?

The Developing a Christian Mind : Seeking Wisdom Conference examines these questions in four disciplinary streams:

HUMANITIES Friday 20 March (1:00pm to 9:00pm) and Saturday 21 March (9:00am to 4:00pm).

NATURAL and MEDICAL SCIENCES Friday 20 March (1:30pm to 9:00pm) and Saturday 21 March (9:00am to 5:00pm). A one-day ticket is available for those who can only attend on the Saturday.

* This stream all disciplines at Oxford that are part of the Mathematics, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division.

PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY Friday 20 March (9:00am to 9:00pm), with the option to join with another Stream of your choice on Saturday 21 March.

SOCIAL SCIENCES AND LAW Friday 20 March (9:30am to 9:00pm) and Saturday 21 March (9:00am to 2:00pm).

The conference will be held at New College on Friday 20 March, and Jesus College's Digital hub on Saturday 21 March.

The day programmes for each stream will be updated on the DCM Oxford website as more information is available.
