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
What if the sun truly is setting on the Western world’s outsized influence over the rest of the planet? Are we prepared for very different global future?
On 16 October join Dr Samir Puri, author of Westlessness and Russia’s Road to War with Ukraine, in conversation with Professor Teresa Bejan, Fellow in Politics at Oriel College.
Puri is a former UK civil servant. He worked for the Foreign Office (2009–15) — including a year seconded to a ceasefire monitoring mission in Ukraine — and was later a lecturer in War Studies at King’s College London (2015–18). His most recent role was Senior Fellow at IISS-Asia based in Singapore (2020–22). In 2023, he became an Associate Fellow at Chatham House.
All are welcome to attend. There is no charge but please register in advance.
On the evening of the event, please be seated by 5.30pm in the Harris Lecture Theatre (seats are on a “first come” basis).
