OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

From Surviving to Thriving: A New Vision for Global Development
Professor Khwaja will share ideas on a new vision for global development that moves from a traditional poverty based lens to one that seeks to maximize each individual’s innate potential. Together with colleagues at the Harvard Center for International Development, this reimagining seeks to build a thriving world for all and not simply a surviving world for some. By reframing development as a co-investment in people’s potential, the talk will explore how to unlock trillions in global GDP growth and foster more inclusive, sustainable societies.
