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
This is Mansfield College’s annual Hands Lecture in politics and current affairs, this year given by Chris Bryant, Labour MP for Rhondda, Chair of the Parliamentary Standards Committee, and alumnus of Mansfield College.
The UK often preaches about corruption and human rights abuses overseas, but Chris Bryant will encourage the UK to get its own house in order, looking at how ‘golden visas’, weak financial regulation, poor political analysis and powerful UK law and accountancy firms have enabled authoritarian regimes like Russia to play us for fools – and how successive recent moves have undermined the UK’s reputation for the rule of law.
