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
Some companies exploit the global poor, by paying them meagre wages in return for gruelling work. Many of us believe this is wrong, even when it leaves the exploited better off than they would otherwise have been. Many of us also believe there is no obligation to help the global poor ourselves, for we could do that by giving more to effective charities. But together, these beliefs imply that we ought to let the global poor suffer rather than exploit them, even when they would much rather be exploited. That might seem counterintuitive. I develop this problem, and then offer a new solution.
