The Martin D'Arcy Memorial Lecture
Established in 1976 in memory of Martin D’Arcy, the D'Arcy Lectures are a series of six - eight lectures by a distinguished Jesuit academic, normally (but not always) delivered during the Hilary term, leading to the publication of a monograph. The lectures are substantive and academic, but also accessible to more than the proponents of a single discipline. The D’Arcy lecturer is resident at Campion Hall for the duration of the lectures.
