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
Work and workplaces are evolving at unprecedented pace. As how and where we work changes, generative AI is also redefining the kinds of tasks people do.
On 22 January, join Julia Hobsbawm, an award-winning writer and broadcaster focused on the future of work, in conversation with Oriel’s Provost, Lord Mendoza CBE.
Hobsbawm’s latest book, Working Assumptions, explores the impact of Covid-19 and ChatGPT on the world of work. She was among the first to discuss the move to hybrid working in her 2022 book, The Nowhere Office.
Hobsbawm also produces and co-hosts the popular podcast ‘The Nowhere Office’, and she has contributed writing to Bloomberg, Fortune, The Washington Post, The Times and Financial Times.
She is the founder of Workathon, a work consultancy, and received an OBE in 2015 “for services to business”.
