Extinction and Biodiversity: Evolution, Action and Hope

11 June @ 17:30 - 19:00

Free

A free public panel discussion

Extinction is a big and sometimes overwhelming topic. It’s hard to get our brains around the scope of extinction in geological time, and to make sense of human responsibility in the present.

Does God will species death?

Does buying organic food really make a difference?

Our panel of scientific and theological experts are ready to tackle whatever you want to ask, from the profound to the niggling. There are no silly questions as we explore the topic together in a spirit of openness and honesty.

This is a free, public event at the Church of the Holy Name on Manchester’s Oxford Road.

Speakers include:
David Walker, Bishop of Manchester
Sadiah Qureshi, Professor of Modern British History, UoM
Colin Beale, Professor of Ecology and Conservation at the University of York
Mick Oliver, Principal Specialist at Natural England

Chaired by Charlotte Sleigh, Professor of Science and Technology Studies at UCL
