I only recognize Zizek and Hauerwas. Does ‘Universalism’ mean what I think it does or is it something different in this sense? As in Universal Unitarianism? Coexist? Embrace all faiths?

On the people, it’s being organized by the university where John Milbank is employed (Univ of Nottingham, UK). I’m familiar with Agamben, Hauerwas (Duke), van Inwagen (Notre Dame), Milbank, Zizek. I’ve heard mention of some of the others, but have not read any of their works.
Universalism is meant in the sense of ecumenism, the universal Church as opposed to the church down the road.

After a long wait, it is official. I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology. The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
