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.

'Reparations: Slavery and the Tyranny of Imaginary Guilty' (Faith in Public Life Lecture)
‘Guilt as a response to personal wrongdoing is healthy. But false guilt is not. … Today we are again succumbing to a fresh and more general bout of false guilt about our colonial past, which is misshaping the policies of our governments and cultural institutions and weakening our international standing.’ — Lord Biggar, Reparations: The Tyranny of Imaginary Guilt.
Lord Biggar will speak about his latest book, why he chose to write it, what its argument is, how it builds on his previous book, Colonial: A Moral Reckoning, and what impact he hopes it will have.
