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
John Bowers will be discussing his new book, Downward Spiral, with the Brasenose PPE Society, followed by a Q&A.
In this eye-opening book, John Bowers KC presents a fearless examination of the decline in ethical standards before, during and after the Johnson government. Through interviews with political insiders, Bowers provides analysis of scandals such as Partygate, Greensill and the revolving door with the private sector. Confronting the failings of the current system, Downward Spiral presents concrete proposals for creating an alternative that is more transparent and accountable.
