OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
How should we understand the relationship between societies’ economic and social security, and national security in a globalized world? The lecture explores how Europeans – as well as historians of Europe – approached this question in the era of the two world wars. The problem has renewed relevance in our own times with the return of war, sanctions and protectionism at a time of climate crisis. The lecture reveals some of the answers offered by individual people, and groups with big ideas in Europe’s darkest hours, and draws on insights from a diverse cast of actors, economists, painters, scientists and politicians. They include Charlie Chaplin, Charlotte Leubuscher, George Grosz, Harriette Chick and William Beveridge.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception from 18:00-19:00.
