Mansfield Public Talks
Mansfield hosts a lively and engaging series of free public talks, every Friday from 5.30pm, during Oxford University term time.
The Mansfield Public Talks are convened by College Principal, Helen Mountfield QC, and platform leading figures from varied fields, aimed at opening up ideas and debate in front of a wide audience. The talks are open to all and as such are an important element of the College’s public engagement efforts.
In Michaelmas term 2020 we hosted our series of Friday Talks online for the very first time, and will continue to do so throughout Hilary term 2021. We hope you will join us.
