OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Annual McDonald Public Lecture (part of Christian Humanism and the Black Atlantic conference)
The conference ‘Christian Humanism and the Black Atlantic’ (June 6-7) will open with the annual McDonald Public Lecture being given by Paul Gilroy. Winner of the highly prestigious Holberg Prize in 2019, Gilroy is an eminent public intellectual and one of the world’s leading scholars of race and racism. Professor Gilroy will reflect on the need to recover a notion of shared humanity and what he calls “reparative humanism.” A reception at St Cross, adjacent to Pusey House, follows the lecture. Given space limitations, attendance at this free, public lecture requires registration.
