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
Every day the dire economic and social consequences of the climate emergency become more apparent. Despite this, the climate agenda continues to be a polarising issue that divides countries across the globe and often leaves out the voices of the most impacted communities. In order to effect the climate action the world desperately needs, we must engage new audiences and deploy new tactics.
Jeremy Heimans is the co-founder and CEO of Purpose, a global organisation that builds and supports movements for a more open, just and habitable world. In his first University of Oxford lecture, Heimans will introduce the concept of “new power” from his bestselling book with Henry Timms — the open, participatory, and peer-driven kind of power behind the innovations that are changing the ways we live and work — and discuss its application within the climate space.
Heimans will lay out a framework for understanding how power is shifting and share some tools, mindsets, and case studies that will help you deploy new power to address the climate crisis and build collective power for climate action.
