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
OxPeace and the DPIR will jointly host Pierre Hazan, mediator and author of the recent book Negotiating with the Devil: Inside the World of Armed Conflict Mediation at an in-person seminar and book launch, followed buy a drinks reception. . A limited number of copies will be available at the launch price of £10 (cash or bank transfer).
After many years in the little-known world of back-channel mediation, helping sworn adversaries to prevent, manage or resolve conflict, Pierre Hazan re-examines the acute practical and ethical dilemmas that affected his work in Bosnia, Ukraine, Syria, the Sahel and the Central African Republic. He raises acute questions on the relation between justice and peace, the ethics of peacekeeping, protection of civilians, the role of the UN, the impasse that results if ‘terrorists’ are excluded from negotiations – and much more.
