Intellectual Forum
Welcome to the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College. We bring people together to discuss and learn about a wide range of issues. Most of our events are open to the public, and most are live-streamed.
Over the last few years, we have had external speakers such as Jimmy Choo, Harry Shearer, Helen Clark, Peter Frankopan and Helena Kennedy. We have also held many public events showcasing the amazing work that is being done by people in Jesus College.
We’ve run conferences on education, health technology and AI, and hosted Radio 4’s Any Questions. We’ve also run some executive education projects, and hosted some residential programmes for government departments and other organisations, as well as running our own research projects.
We also run the high-level Jesus College Perspectives conferences, which over the last 10 years have brought together experts from academia, industry, government, civil society and the media to discuss key issues of our time.
In 2021 Jesus College partnered with edX, an online learning platform, to deliver courses on a variety of topics. Our courses on Preventing and Responding to sexual harassment and violence and Polarisation in the Workplace and Beyond can be taken for free by anyone in the world with an internet connection.
