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 Annual Halsey Lecture will be a lecture series celebrating excellence in sociology and the wider social sciences, named in honour of Professor Albert Henry Halsey, a central figure in the sociology of education.
This year’s speaker will be Rachel Brooks, Professor of Higher Education at the University of Oxford and current President of the British Sociological Association. Professor Brooks will explore how higher education students are conceptualised across six European countries, challenging assumptions of a uniform student experience and highlighting the influence of national context, discipline, institution, and social background.
This event will be followed by a drinks reception. Please register to attend.
