Third Roy Bradley Annual Oration

The third Roy Bradley Annual Oration was delivered by Dr Rachael Kohn on November 21st 2021 by teleconference.
The theme of Rachael’s address, “Making sense of our lives in the era of the pandemic” explored what all our activities, achievements, failures and triumphs have meant and will they make sense in ways that provide peace and hope in an uncertain future. Popular philosophies tell us how to see ourselves, religious belief can provide answers, while political ideologies promise immediate solutions.
In the time of Covid how will we make sense of ourselves in ways that provide peace in a challenging present and hope in an uncertain future?
Rachael’s inspiring and thought-provoking address explored the nature of identity, fear and humility and encouraged us to be open to the experience of ‘radical amazement’, to explore the mystery and wonder at the very core of life itself.
