Think Week!

You should go...

Think Week, a series of high profile (free!) events organised jointly by the Oxford Atheist Society, Oxford Secular Society, Oxford Humanists, Oxford Sea of Faith and Oxford Skeptics in the Pub. The aim of the week will be to expose the type of discussion and debate that these societies offer to a wider audience and raise the profile of the issues involved, among the whole Oxford community - Oxford city, Oxford University and Oxford Brookes. We won't be covering base questions like "Does God exist?" but instead be providing events in a similar vein to those our various societies provide during the rest of the year. The events will be intended to make people think about things they probably haven't thought about before.

Refreshments will be provided at all events. Attendees are welcome to bring food to lunch time events.

Change of venue: The venue for Stephen Law's talk on Tuesday at 1 pm will be in Wadham College's Moser Theatre, not Lincoln College's Lower Lecture Theatre, as previously advertised.

Event confirmed: Think Week will feature stand-up comic Iszi Laurence in Bar Copa on George Street at 9.30 pm on Friday the 26th.
