Turning thought in to form is a mysterious process with which artists, scientists, philosophers and, indeed, all of us engage. But though the outcomes, mathematical, artistic, philosophical, may be different, might there be much that is common to all?

In the last lecture of the four-part series organised as part of Conrad Shawcross’ ‘Cascading Principles’ exhibition in Oxford Mathematics, we bring together a panel comprising Jon Keating, Sedleian Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Oxford, Emma Ridgway, Director of the Foundling Museum,  Maya B Kronicg, philosopher and Director of Urbanomic, and Conrad himself. The discussion will be chaired by Fatos Ustek, curator of the ‘Cascading Principles’ exhibition.

There will be an opportunity to view the exhibition with the curator at 4pm on the day of the lecture.

Please email external-relations@maths.ox.ac.uk to register for the in-person event.The lecture will be broadcast on the Oxford Mathematics YouTube Channel at a later date.
