OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We are thrilled to host Sir John Jenkins, former Director of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and current Head of the Middle East programme at the Geopolitics Centre at Cambridge. Sir John, who served as the UK’s ambassador to several Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia, will share his insights on the grand strategy of Mohammed bin Salman, changing regional architecture under the new U.S. administration, and the Kingdom’s relationship with Iran and Europe, among other interesting topics.
