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.

How did violence come about, ex nihilo? Introducing an empirical analysis of 140 experimental sessions, this presentation will reveal an unlikely candidate for the success with which the experimenter in Stanley Milgram’s infamous “obedience to authority experiments” kept his reluctant participants administering electric shocks against a victim’s will and painful cries. This finding will then be expanded towards a psychoanalytically oriented theory of implicit violence – a framework to potentially help us understand not only Milgram’s violence, but beyond.
Chaired by Niall Gildea; The paper will be followed by short comments and discussion from four other contributors: Louise Braddock (convener), Arthur Bradley (Lancaster), Louise Gyler (Aust.P.S.), and Sherrill Stroschein (UCL).
