Glaister Lecture 2026
About the event:
The Braziers Glaister Lecture 2026 is our annual public lecture, inviting a guest speaker to explore themes and questions relevant to our community and the wider political, social, and environmental moment we are living in. The lecture offers an opportunity to engage with ideas, meet the Braziers community, and take part in shared reflection and discussion. The event is followed by an optional homemade lunch, offering time for informal conversation and connection.
The Glaister Lecture continues the inquiry of Norman Glaister, who established Braziers Park as an experiment in community, consciousness, and collective living. It is a thoughtful, human lecture grounded in lived experience. It is a space for reflection rather than performance, and an exploration of the links between individual experience, community life, and wider society.
About this year’s speaker:
Dr Lisa Silver is one of Oxfordshire’s longest-serving GPs, whose work places her at the intersection of individual lives and wider social change. Over decades, she has listened to what people bring when there is nowhere else to take it, offering care while also witnessing the evolving patterns of loneliness, stress, resilience, and connection in modern life. Her perspective offers a powerful and grounded lens on how we are living today.
Costs:
This is a free event, but booking is essential. Optional lunch is available.
