Mysticism(s) Beyond the West Conference

Dr Szilvia Szanyi and Dr Brett Parris (Faculty of Theology and Religion) are organising a conference titled Mysticism(s) Beyond the West, to be held from 29 June to 1 July 2026 at Campion Hall, University of Oxford.

The conference brings together leading and emerging scholars in religious studies, philosophy, and related fields to explore underrepresented mystical traditions beyond the Western canon, including Indian, Islamic, Buddhist, Jewish, Eastern Christian, and Indigenous contexts. We are planning to charge a modest registration fee for speakers and participants in order to help cover hospitality expenses.
