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 very excited to be hosting Beatrice Heuser on Can Strategic Intelligence Failure be Avoided? on Tuesday, February 10th at 8:30 PM in the Old Library at All Souls College. There will be a drinks reception prior to the talk at 8. Beatrice Heuser is Distinguished Professor at the Brussels School of Governance, Free University of Brussels (VUB). She heads the Strategy teaching section at the German General Staff College (Führungsakademie) of the Bundeswehr in Hamburg and previously the Chair in International Relations at the University of Glasgow. Professor Heuser’s publications include work on nuclear strategy and the history of strategy, with major works on Reading Clausewitz (2002); and The Evolution of Strategy (2010), War: A Genealogy of Western Ideas and Practices (2022), both covering the period from Antiquity to the Present. Her latest book is Flawed Strategy: why smart leaders make bad decisions (2025). We look forward to seeing you there!
