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.

The 2025 John Stuart Mill Lecture: Mill on the Complementarity of Permanence and Change
Professor Moody-Adams’ paper will explore Mill’s claim that Jeremy Bentham and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were the two great “half-men” of their time, asking whether this assertion illuminates Mill’s view of the relationship between tradition and progress, or does it reveal a fundamental ambivalence at the core of Mill’s thought, and what this might tell us about Mill’s understanding of truth.
