OxTalks is Changing
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
Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative - Transformations in American Conservatism
This is a hybrid event
Professor Jennifer Burns from Stanford University joins Professor Tom Simpson as part of the series International Perspectives on Conservatism to discuss her most recent book, Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative (2023), and the evolution of conservatism in America.
Jennifer Burns is Associate Professor of History at Stanford University and a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. She is the author of Milton Friedman: The Last Conservative (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2023) and Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right (Oxford, 2009). Jennifer has contributed opinion pieces and analysis to The New York Times, The Financial Times, Bloomberg, and Dissent and has discussed her work in terms accessible to a non-specialist audience on interview programs and television shows such as BBC Radio 4 and The Colbert Report.
