What was Emptiness, and What Comes Next?

The EMPTINESS project’s concluding conference, ‘What was Emptiness, and What Comes Next?’ will take place in-person at the University of Oxford on 4-6 June 2025. An exciting array of scholars will join us in panels and roundtables convened by the project researchers, as we reflect on the project’s intellectual and methodological trajectory – and consider: what comes after ’emptiness’?

The programme for each day can be viewed above. Abstracts can be viewed and downloaded from the project website at 'What was Emptiness, and What Comes Next?' conference – Emptiness.

Conference attendance is free, but the number of places is limited. Please register for each day of the conference you wish to attend; if you wish to attend the whole conference you must register a separate ticket for all three days.
