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
Don’t miss a more amusing take on environmental impact. Dr Matt Winning is thinking about starting a family but wonders if he should. A show about why our knowledge about climate change doesn’t necessarily match our actions. As seen as ‘the Environmental Correspondent’ on Unspun with Matt Forde on Dave. ‘Winning’s sharp wit and intelligence allows him to educate as he entertains’ ****½ (Sunday Post). ‘A very powerful and eccentric piece of comedy from Winning, who is sure to become one of the largest names in UK comedy very soon’ **** (ShortCom.co.uk).
