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.

The subject of our 2026 Manchester Lecture will be the Worthingtons, the Manchester-based family firm of architects that was responsible for designing and building the main college quad between 1889 and 1893, as well as many other buildings in Oxford and the North of England – and whose founder, Thomas Worthington, was a committed social reformer.
William Whyte, Professor of Social and Architectural History at the University of Oxford and a Fellow at St John’s College, will deliver the lecture.
