OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

EDI Research Spotlight: Discrimination and Decolonisation
The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) has partnered with the Social Sciences Division (SSD) to organise an ODID Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Research Spotlight event. SSD EDI events are intended to shine a spotlight on the contribution of SSD researchers to the broad field of scholarship on equality, diversity, and inclusion. The aim is to highlight that EDI is not just a matter of management of people and organisations, but also an intellectual challenge and a thriving academic field in which SSD researchers play a leading role within the University and beyond. This Hilary Term the event will showcase research undertaken by staff and doctoral students at ODID.
