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
The Changing Character of War will convene a panel to discuss Patrick Porter’s new book with Stanford University Press. Porter makes the case for realism in the age of war, economic dislocation and climate crisis. Porter tackles three prominent criticisms of realism: that it is immoral, unrealistic, and provincial. Realism, he argues, is everything its critics believe it is not: moral in its commitment to securing the polity and its interests in a world where there is no higher government; realistic and the best starting point for explaining how human groups tend to behave; and practical for use by everyone, everywhere, including beyond the Euro-Atlantic.
Professor Patrick Porter is Professor of International Security and Strategy at the University of Birmingham. He will be joined a panel to discuss his book, published this month by Stanford University Press.
Dr Susan B. Martin is a Senior Lecturer in the War Studies Department at King’s College London.
Dr Jeanne Morefield is Associate Professor in Political Theory and Tutorial Fellow in Politics, New College Oxford. Dr David Blagden is Associate Professor of International Security and Strategy, University of Exeter.Dr Seán Molloy is Reader in International Relations at the University of Kent.
