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.
Sustainable development is one of the most influential concepts in contemporary international policy. The talk traces the origins of this ubiquitous yet elusive notion in the 1970s and 1980s, discussing specifically the ideas of the two women who are credited with its invention, Barbara Ward and Gro Harlem Brundtland: how they imagined sustainable development as the pillar of a new, post-Cold War international order, how they problematised growth and social justice, and how they envisioned a special responsibility of Europe/the European Community in promoting it.
