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
We are excited to announce that this year’s speaker for the prestigious Tanner Lecture on Human Values is the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk. The title of his lectures will be ‘Human Rights: Cooling a Planet on Fire.’
Mr Türk has dedicated his career to advancing universal human rights and protecting vulnerable populations, including refugees. Previously, he served as Under-Secretary-General for Policy in the UN Secretary-General’s Executive Office.
