On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Andrés M Guiot-Isaac is a Post-doctoral Fellow in Economic History at the London School of Economics. Currently, Andrés is working on his first monograph on the emergence of an economic technocracy in Colombia, which builds on his doctoral research at the University of Oxford. This project explores the construction of state capacities in developing countries to act on economies and influence socioeconomic outcomes by focusing on the transnational financial and knowledge exchanges that reshaped the Colombian state during the two decades when ‘development’ became a dominant organizing framework in academic, multilateral and policy circles (1950-1970). Andrés’ work on the first World Bank mission to Colombia and the ‘development experts’ Albert O. Hirschman and Lauchlin Currie has been published in the History of Political Economy and Oeconomia.
