Held at the University of Oxford (as well as online), this two-day hybrid conference will take place on 10-11 May, 2025.
Presenters may either share academic papers and/or creative work (poetry, prose, photography, music, painting, etc.), as we highly encourage arts-based research, as well as research which stimulates reflection on creativity, image, symbol and archetype.
