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

Learn the common mistakes that philosophers make when doing public writing, and how to avoid them,
Learn how to craft a pitch for an editor,
Learn how to approach an editor with an idea,
Have the option of getting feedback from Anastasia on a pitch.
