What is fear, and how has it been recognised and used in the past? Our speakers for the last Rewley House seminar of the year address this question through their research into historical religious practices and politics.

We are delighted to welcome Dr Cathy Oakes (University Lecturer in the History of Art), Alistair Beecher (DPhil student in English Local History at OUDCE) and Angela Flynn (DPhil student in History at New College Oxford) who lead a multidisciplinary discussion on the theme of ‘Fear’, particularly as it relates to their own work.
