In the midst of the exciting news regarding the Voyage of the Dawn Treader this week, there was another interesting announcement for appreciators of C.S. Lewis-the preliminary speaker’s list for the C.S. Lewis Foundation’s Oxbridge Summer Institute has been announced. Every three years, the C.S.Lewis Foundation puts on a two week summer institute consisting of lectures, smaller themed talks, performances, tours, friendship building times, and more. Oxbridge participants spend one week at Cambridge and another at Oxford, England-the two places where Lewis spent his academic career. This year’s theme is “Paradigms of Hope: Transcending Chaos & Transforming Culture”. To read more about this theme and what the conference organizers have in mind for the 2011 version Oxbridge, please click here.
Each year, an extraordinary group of scholars, thinkers, writers, business-people, and ministry leaders are brought together at Oxbridge and this past week, they have released a preliminary list of speakers, with more to follow in the upcoming months. These speakers are the following:
Os Guinness
Charles Colson
Ken Blanchard
George Marsden
Joseph Pearce
Mary Poplin

They should have Skandar speak! Doesn’t he already go to Cambridge? And he’s extremely smart!
Wow, that’s a great list! I’m very tempted to attend this time.
