About this event

Spirituality • Other

This one-day symposium will be an open meeting between international scholars and the celebrated philosopher Luce Irigaray. Responding to this author’s latest book The Mediation of Touch (Springer, 2024), and in conversation with her, the symposium will explore and discuss how resorting to touch as mediation might allow us to approach another way of relating, thinking and being. The day will conclude with a lecture by Irigaray, a book signing, and drinks reception.

With the support of the Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology and the Von Hügel Institute
