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
Principal John Bowers will be in conversation with Brasenose College alumnus Siddarth Shrikanth.
After studying Biology at Brasenose, Siddarth worked in corporate sustainability for McKinsey in London and Indonesia before moving to Hong Kong to be a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times. He gained a joint MPA/MBA from the Harvard Kennedy School and Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, during which he co-founded a natural carbon removal start-up and consulted for the World Bank on environmental policy. Siddarth works in climate and nature investing at Just Climate, part of Al Gore’s Generation Investment Management team. In 2023 he published his book “The Case for Nature: Pioneering Solutions for the Other Planetary Crisis”.
