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.

Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School, Sir Paul Collier is a leading British economist known for his research on development, poverty, and the political economy of low-income countries.
Paul’s work focuses on why some nations remain trapped in conflict and poverty, and how policies, governance, and international action can support sustainable development. He is known for influential books such as The Bottom Billion and The Future of Capitalism, which combine economic analysis with practical policy insights, and his most recent book Left Behind: A New Economics for Neglected Places. He has advised governments and international organisations on development strategy, migration, and post-conflict recovery.
This event brings together friends, colleagues and former students to reflect upon Paul’s body of work, and to explore the issues he has spent his career addressing.
