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
Esteemed philosopher Professor Sir Richard Sorabji follows his 2015 free speech lecture by turning his centuries-spanning analysis to the contemporary conundrum posed by social media.
He will review cross-cultural thinking throughout the ages on religious freedom of expression to explore how we can better foster a culture of listening to rival views. In the lecture, he will question whether legal restrictions on certain speech acts or self-restraint would be most effective at combating extremist content and damaging political propaganda.
