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
Every year, the lecture welcomes distinguished speakers to Mansfield College to talk about themes relevant to the life and ideas of Adam von Trott – the German diplomat who opposed Hitler.
Adam von Trott, who studied at Mansfield for a term in 1929, was a German diplomat and a central figure in the opposition to Hitler. While at Mansfield, he studied theology and politics. He later wrote that this experience had helped him to learn “what democracy means”.
This year’s Adam von Trott Memorial Lecture will be given by Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University.
His theme will be ‘Luther’s Half-millennium: Then and Now’.
This theme marks the 500th anniversary in 2017 of the Reformation, and celebrates the origins of Mansfield College which was for many years a theological college preparing ordinands for the Ministry of the Congregational and United Reformed Churches.
