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
Wolfson alumna Chief Sydney Roberts will return to our stage as the Wolfson Role Model Series TT2021 speaker. Sydney Roberts is the Chief Administrator for the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) in Chicago, Illinois with full administrative investigative authority of officer involved shootings, deaths in custody or as a result of police action as well as complaints of excessive force, illegal search and seizure, domestic violence, denial of counsel, coercion and sex and race based verbal abuse. Roberts holds a BSc from the University of Delaware, a MSc in criminology from Wolfson College, University of Oxford and a Juris Doctor from Rutgers School of Law, Newark, NJ.
Wolfson’s President Sir Tim Hitchens will open the conversation and our very own Justine Bent, who holds a BSc in Criminal Justice and is currently reading for a MSc in African Studies at Wolfson College, will guide through the evening.
