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
he next annual Heron-Allen Lecture takes place in the Simpkins Lee Theatre at LMH on Friday 2nd March 2018, 5.45pm to 7.00pm.
Our guest speaker will be wildlife biologist Professor John Vucetich, Professor of population ecology at the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Sciences at Michigan Technological University and an affiliate of Oxford’s WildCRU and Martin School.
Academic siloing has created a community of conservation professionals unable to adequately handle ethical concepts that routinely arise in conservation. This is especially troubling because conservation is – at its core – ethics in action. Professor Vucetich is a carnivore ecologist and conservation ethicist. He also leads research on the wolves and moose of Isle Royale, the longest study of any predator-prey system in the world.
The event is free of charge and guests are welcome. A drinks reception will follow in the Monson Room.
