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 to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Book Launch | Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism
📚 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.
