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.
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.
