OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Cities on the frontline: urban governance in the age of the polycrisis?
This event is a free, one-hour lecture, hosted by Oxford University’s Sustainable Urban Development programme. The event will be live-streamed from our Lecture Theatre, so you have the option to join us online or in person.
Cities are often the first responders in times of crisis – whether conflict, climate disaster, or migration. This lecture by keynote speaker Ievgeniia Kopytsia, draws on Ukraine’s experience to examine how cities on the frontlines of conflict can become laboratories for transformative recovery, reimagining housing, climate adaptation, legal frameworks, and participatory governance. It explores the challenges and opportunities of urban crisis response, highlighting the role of local leadership, adaptive policy, and cross-sector collaboration in building more resilient, inclusive urban futures amidst profound disruption.
