Join us for a landmark conversation between two Nobel Laureates - Professor Mo Yan (Nobel Prize in Literature, 2012) and Sir Paul Nurse (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2001), President of Royal Society - as they explore how scientific inquiry and literary imagination together shape our understanding of human existence.
This rare dialogue across the sciences and humanities asks a question fundamental to our time: how do we find meaning in a world of order and disorder? With our distinguished guest speakers, the evening promises an exceptional gathering of some of the world's most distinguished minds.
The event is co-hosted by the Oxford Prospects and Global Development Institute (OPGDI) and the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), and will be opened by Professor Irene Tracey.
