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 Green Templeton alum Stephen Robert Morse (MBA 2015) for a highly strategic, slightly chaotic, and refreshingly honest talk about how to stay afloat when the systems around you are going sideways fast.
Stephen is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and entrepreneur whose work includes Amanda Knox, How to Rob a Bank, and In the Cold Dark Night. From uncovering political corruption in Pennsylvania to navigating the wilds of Netflix negotiations, he’s built a career by asking tough questions and refusing to wait for permission.
This isn’t a lecture about hope and dreams. It’s about tools and tactics. How to think clearly when everyone else is losing the plot. How to build leverage when all you’ve got is a soggy backpack and a stubborn belief in yourself. How to use narrative to make people care, act, or wire you the money.
Rooted in the Green Templeton ethos—blending science, medicine, and business—this talk offers an interdisciplinary framework for navigating the chaos ahead. Whether you’re reimagining healthcare systems, launching a startup, or just trying to stay sane, Stephen brings a mix of Oxford brainpower and real-world scar tissue to the table.
You’ll laugh. You’ll think. You might even take notes.
Come for the truth bombs. Leave with a blueprint.
