On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Hamish Low will tackle the topic of the economics of disability by defining ‘health shocks’ and comparing the severity of a health shock to the quality of life and economic prosperity of the person affected by it. Low will compare the success of the UK vs the US government’s attempts to support people with health shocks, and consider the benefits to both the individual and the governments.
