Academic conference: Reading the signs

We are pleased to work in collaboration with the Oxford Festival of the Arts to host Reading the signs, an academic conference to celebrate the life and work of the late Dr Cathy Oakes, FSA, Kellogg Fellow and art historian.

The conference explores interdisciplinary perspectives on the signs and symbols used by medieval and Renaissance people. Inspired by Cathy’s work, speakers will explore the context in which signs and symbols were used so as to understand what they meant to those who made, saw (and heard) them. This day conference will offer ways of seeing the signs and symbols which were ubiquitous in our medieval and early modern past.

Speakers include:

• Professor Elizabeth Gemmill, Professor Emerita in Medieval Economic and Social History; Fellow Emerita of Kellogg College
• Dr Christine Jackson, Fellow Emerita of Kellogg College
• Mariona Ponce Bochaca, Kellogg College alumna
• Craig Paterson, Kellogg College DPhil student

Day ticket including all refreshments: £30

Open to: General Public, Members of Kellogg College, Oxford University members,
