Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This talk will reflect on Dr Berenskötter attempts to form and advance a new (reading of a) concept in the field of International Relations, namely that of ‘friendship’. He will outline his motivations to engage on this journey and discuss the approach he developed, or came to adopt, where and how he found support for this undertaking, as well as the challenges and rewards as he experienced them. Rather than simply a personal reflection, the talk is based on his reading of Koselleck’s notion of a basic concept (Grundbegriff) and carves out the analytical, pedagogical and normative/practical layers in and through which he sees the process of concept formation unfolding.
Capacity is limited to 50 attendees.
