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
We will have the honour to host Wolfson alumnus and Rhodes Scholar Wes Moore for an interview followed by an open Q&A session on Thursday Jan 28th at 7 pm. Wes, a New York Times bestselling author, has done remarkable work for the Black community and is currently CEO for the Robin Hood Foundation in New York City, one of the largest antipoverty non-profits in the nation. The event will focus on Wes’ new book Five days, an account on the days leading up to the police brutality protests in Baltimore. The conversation will be opened by President Sir Tim Hitchens and Welfare Officer Lesley Nelson-Addy will guide through the interview and discussion.
