OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
About the OCTF Conservation & Development Brown-bag Lunch Series:
This series will promote an informal space for dialogue, cross-fertilisation and interdisciplinary discussion amongst OCTF members and others working on conservation and development issues in and around Oxford. The series will cover a wide-range of topics with a focus on the challenges and solutions to balancing conservation & development objectives. We expect topics to include environmental policy, forest governance, applied ecology, deforestation drivers & the private sector, local peoples’ rights, and beyond. We encourage participation of social and natural scientists as well as practitioners, students, and curious minds. Meetings will start with a short presentation (10-20 minutes) followed by plenty of time for discussion and debate. On weeks where there is no presenter, we will circulate a journal article to discuss as a group.
