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
This workshop is designed to help researchers improve their skill at pitching their research. It covers unique issues of communicating via video conferencing, with a particular focus on three key problem areas when compared with conventional conversation: loss of personality, loss of clarity, and increased distractions. Solutions will then be offered across three areas: how to frame one’s picture, how to use one’s body, and how to use one’s voice. There will be an opportunity to practice these skills in the workshop. The workshop will provide a framework of awareness and tools through which attendees can prepare for their pitch practice appointments.
Workshop attendees will have an opportunity to book a 15 minute 1 to 1 appointment on Friday 17th July (2 – 5:30) where they can practice their thesis pitch and receive feedback. Places will be limited. Booking will be available after the workshop and will be on a first come first served basis.
This workshop is open to current Oxford DPhil students and researchers only.
