OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Reading Group: Debt Trap Nation: Family Homelessness in a Failing State (Agenda Publishing, 2025)
The discussion will focus on the book’s central themes of debt, gender and housing precarity, exploring how austerity, welfare reform and housing policy shape family life and everyday experiences of insecurity in Britain.
The session will take place ahead of the authors’ book presentation the following week. Participants are encouraged to read Chapters 1, 2 and 3 in advance.
