The conversations are candid, sometimes technical, sometimes funny, always thoughtful and inspiring. They have been edited into short clips and categorised both by discussion topic and scholar. The videos can be accessed via the navigation at the top of the page.

The scholars' dialogue partners are fellow University of Oxford academics or doctoral researchers, some of whom are themselves world leaders in their fields.

The 16th century Christian academic Philip Melanchthon wrote that ‘true wisdom is the recognition of God and the zealous contemplation of nature’. Each participant in Oxford Conversations epitomises this ideal and offers a unique example of how ‘true wisdom’ can be pursued through an integrated life of mind and spirit.
