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
The first Oakeshott Lecture of 2025: Professor Kathleen Stock on assisted dying, freedom, and mercy
In the first Oakeshott Lecture of 2025, Prof Kathleen Stock addresses the debate on assisted dying.
Author of four major books and countless articles, Kathleen Stock is a distinguished philosopher of aesthetics who was honoured with an OBE in 2021. Formerly a professor at Sussex University, she came to public prominence in 2021, when a cancellation campaign aimed at her position on trans rights led to her resignation. Her case has since become a major belleweather of academic freedom in British universities.
After her lecture, Prof Stock will be joined by journalist Dan Hitchens for a live discussion.
