Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Newton Niu is an award-winning documentary filmmaker from China, with nearly two decades of
experience working across state broadcast and independent production. His collaborative and independent
projects have received major international and Chinese awards, including recognition at IDFA and the
Sundance Film Festival.
Based on extensive fieldwork across almost all provinces in China, his work engages with contemporary
Chinese society, politics, and everyday governance, offering a distinctive ground-level perspective shaped
by work in both rural communities and senior institutional settings. He will be presenting and discussing
his work.
Sam Crane, a Professor at Williams College and Director of the Williams-Exeter Program whose work
focuses on contemporary Chinese politics and ancient Chinese philosophy, will moderate.
