On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us on Thursday, 20 May at 5.00pm (UTC+1) for a talk by Professor James A. Robinson on “Africa’s Latent Assets”. Details for how to tune in to the event are given below.
Professor Robinson is an economist and political scientist currently serving as the Reverend Dr. Richard L. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at the Harris School of Public Policy in the University of Chicago. He specializes in comparative economic and political development of regions such as Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, and co-authored books such as “Why Nations Fail?”, “Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy” and “The Narrow Corridor”. He is currently conducting research on Bolivia, the DRC, Sierra Leone, Haiti, and Colombia, among other countries.
