SUMMARY:Contextualizing the Modern Era of Vaccination
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\n“Immunity and Humanities” Lecture: Elena Conis (Berkeley) \n\n\n\n\nWhy Not Vaccinate?Some Historical Answers \nLaunch of the “Immunity and the Humanities” Program \nHesitancy toward vaccination has been a constant since the practice’s inception at the end of the eighteenth century\, yet the mid-twentieth century introduced a complex paradox: the simultaneous rise of vaccine skepticism and the mass acceptance of compulsory childhood immunization. This presentation examines how historical trends in religious\, political\, and secular objections to vaccination have persisted and mutated over the last 200 years. It will describe the impact of modern social drivers—including shifting gender roles\, environmental concerns\, economic imperatives\, and the valuation of children—on vaccination discourse from the latter-twentieth century to today. This historical contextualization will offer insight into how today’s vaccination resistance and rejection both mirror and depart from the past. \n____ \nEventbrite processes data (including any personal data you may submit by responding to this invitation) outside of the European Economic Area.

SUMMARY:God's Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:A book launch\, with reception. Will be recorded as a live taping for Premier \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the launch of Tom Wright’s newest book\,God’s Homecoming ​​​​\, including a live taping of the ‘Unbelievable’ podcast with Premier. \nAbout the event\nFor generations\, many Christians have imagined the Bible’s story as one in which we leave earth behind and “go to heaven” when we die. But\, as Tom Wright has spent decades patiently explaining\, from Surprised by Hope to his latest major work God’s Homecoming\, that is simply not the scriptural narrative. The Bible does not give us a tale of souls escaping upward; it gives us the astonishing announcement that God intends to come and dwell with us. \nIn this special Oxford evening\, Tom Wright will guide us through the central biblical theme that has been hidden in plain sight: God’s longing to make creation his home. Drawing on careful historical scholarship\, robust biblical exegesis\, and the earthy\, hope-filled tone familiar from his recent conversations on the Ask NT Wright Anything podcast\, Tom will show how the whole sweep of Scripture\, from Genesis to Revelation moves towards one destination: the renewal of all things through God’s personal presence. \nFollowing the taped interview\, there will be a time for audience questions\, followed by a reception\, book sale and signing. All are welcome! \nWycliffe Hall has set itself the modest task of fostering a New Renaissance of Christian scholarship\, leadership and culture. As both a Christian community and a Permanent Private Hall of the University of Oxford\, we want to see transformational scholarship\, leadership and culture\, born out of Christian community\, offering the truth\, beauty and goodness of the gospel to the world. \nTo find up more about the New Renaissance Project and related events and activities\, please visit our webpage and sign up for email alerts: Wycliffe’s New Renaissance Project continues growing | WYCLIFFE HALL \nEvent details\nDate: Monday 2nd March 2026 \nTime: 6-7.30pm\, followed by a drinks reception \nTickets: £6.50 per ticket. £22.50 includes your ticket and a hardback copy of God’s Homecoming. \nIn order to make this event accessible to as many people who want to come\, we have set the ticket price to only cover direct costs\, thanks to Tom’s generosity in giving his time \nVenue: Wycliffe Hall\, 52-54 Banbury Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6PW \nGetting here: Wycliffe Hall is on major bus routes. Limited parking may be available on site (please contact us by email if you have any special access requirements) and pay-and-display on-street parking is available close by in Norham Gardens. \nPhotography and filming: This event will include photography and filming for use by Wycliffe and Premier: please contact us directly if you have any questions about this: conferences@wycliffe.ox.ac.uk. \nAll are welcome: the event is open to the public\, but we are expecting to sell out quickly. You will need a ticket to attend. \nAbout our guests\nN.T. Wright\, who prepared for ordained ministry at Wycliffe Hall\, is one of the world’s leading New Testament scholars\, and a world authority on the apostle Paul.
