OxTalks is Changing
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
Join Sarah Jones for a one-off Research & Development session for students
Internationally acclaimed comedian and writer Sarah Jones is inviting students to take part in a focused research and development session for her new show, America, Who Hurt You?. This is a rare chance to step inside the creative process as Sarah scratches early ideas, tests new material, and invites thoughtful responses from students.
What you’ll do
Take part in a guided conversation with Sarah about the themes and questions shaping the piece.
Offer reflections and feedback that will directly inform the next draft.
