A panel of academics from a range of disciplines will discuss Occupy London.  They will focus on how urban space and politics intersect in the historically, politically and theologically charged context of St Paul's Churchyard and the City of London.

Short informal presentations will be followed by a round table discussion and an open discussion with the audience.
