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
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.
