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
The next Oxford Intelligence Group event this year will be a conversation with Professor John Ferris, who has recently completed his book Behind the Enigma: The Authorised History of GCHQ Britain’s Secret Cyber-Intelligence Agency’.
John Ferris is Professor of History at the University of Calgary and a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He has written or edited eight books and over 100 articles or chapters on diplomatic, intelligence, imperial, international, military and strategic history and strategic studies. John completed part of his research for this book whilst an associate member of Nuffield College, which makes the OIG especially pleased that he has honoured us with an early opportunity to discuss his work, both in its own right and in the context of what is now a rich seam of authorised histories covering the main intelligence agencies. The format of the webinar will be a discussion with John, chaired by OIG member Stephen Gale, in which we hope our audience will be actively involved.
