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
In our October event, Jaz Brisack (Mississippi & Wadham 2019) will discuss their book Get on the Job and Organize: Standing Up for a Better Workplace and a Better World.
Jaz is a union organizer and cofounder of the Inside Organizer School, which trains workers to unionize. After spending one year at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, they got a job as a barista at the Elmwood Starbucks in Buffalo, NewYork, becoming a founding member of Starbucks Workers United and helping organize the first unionized Starbucks in the United States. They have also worked with organizing committees at companies ranging from Nissan to Tesla to Ben & Jerry’s. Jaz’s first book, Get on the Job and Organize: Standing Up for a Better Workplace and a Better World, is out this year from One Signal Press.
