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
Much has been made of the Xi Jinping era as one that has ushered in significant changes to how the Chinese Communist Party rules and is ruled. In particular, the upcoming 20th Party Congress appears likely to assert a continued role for Xi Jinping as head of the party leadership, overturning prior practice and further cementing an apparent personalist turn in the party. At a time of significant apparent changes, what can we observe in terms of ongoing continuities? Are we truly seeing a major break with the past or does the past still have much to teach us about what is happening and what is to come? Please join us as we engage in a conversation with three expert commentators on the Chinese Communist Party – Diana Fu, Ian Johnson, and Jeff Wasserstrom – exploring what yesterday may have to tell us about tomorrow.
