Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
📚 Book Launch | Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism🌱
What does the green transition really require, and at what cost?
Join us in Oxford for the launch of Extraction, where Thea Riofrancos examines how lithium, critical minerals, and global supply chains are reshaping development, politics, and climate action.
Based on fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, the book explores the environmental and social consequences of the global race for lithium, and asks how climate action can be aligned with social justice.
