An Evening with Richard Dawkins and Friends
Richard Dawkins – one of the most respected scientists and thinkers of our time – will embark on a new tour of the USA and Europe, including an unmissable date in Oxford.

In his new tour – which begins in the USA in September before heading to the UK and Europe – Dawkins and several special guests will connect with audiences in unscripted conversations touching on topics from science to religion, life on earth and beyond.
Audiences will hear first-hand about his forthcoming book – The Genetic Book of the Dead – in which Dawkins delves into the transformative potential of DNA in our understanding of evolution.
