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
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.
