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
CRIC Public Lecture: Online Radicalisation - Myths and Reality
Lecture by Professor Peter Neumann MA PhD
Online Radicalisation – Myths and Reality
Two of the most frightening aspects of the wave of terrorism that has swept across the globe are what appear to be the viral spread of extreme thinking through the internet, and the seemingly rapid appearance of radical attitudes in
young people as a prelude to their terrorist involvement. Peter Neumann will bring his acute mind and unrivalled experience of engagement in this field to help us tease out the myths from the realities of ‘on-line radicalization’.
Time: 6pm – 7.15pm
Date: Tuesday, 26 September 2017
Venue: Harris Manchester College, Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TD
