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
Talk and Networking Event with Environmental Law Organization Client Earth
The Oxford Climate Society is hosting a talk and networking event with the major non-profit environmental law-organization Client Earth on Monday of 6th week at 7.15PM. We will be hearing from James Thornton, the founding CEO of Client Earth.
James is an extremely successful environmental lawyer and in 2016 was named one of the 100 top lawyers in the UK by The Lawyer. He founded Client Earth in 2007 after a successful career in New York, where he also founded Citizens’ Enforcement Project. He is also the author of an environmental legal thriller, Immediate Harm and is a Conservation Fellow of the Zoological Society of London.
Client Earth was Europe’s first public interest environmental law organization. It now operates globally and uses advocacy, litigation and scientific research to address the environmental issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change. James will be talking to us about the great work that Client Earth does and will be providing insight and advice for those interested in a career in environmental law.
The event will be held in the Oxford Hub events space (first door on the left, up the stairs at Turl Street Kitchen), starting at 7.15 pm.
