On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The 11th Annual McDonald Centre Conference will gather both theologians and philosophers for conversation with medical professionals and health care experts, including gerontologists, geriatricians, and palliative care specialists, such that the gravity of old age, including experiences of suffering and despair, can be foregrounded. Although ageing, suffering, and despair offer the thematic contours for the conference, further thinking about essential virtues for overcoming despair and the meaning or practices of hope will be considered such that health and care might be resourced, while public policies, educative experiences, and professional practices might be re-examined.
