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.

From Hannah Arendt’s bitter assessment of the impotence of human rights to today’s despair at the intensity of group- based hatreds, it is hard to feel much confidence in the notion of a common humanity. That lack of confidence is reinforced by centuries in which people proclaimed that all men are born equal but found this compatible, not only with the subordination of women, but with the enslavement and colonisation of millions of both women and men. In this lecture, Anne Phillips explores what we can nonetheless retrieve from the notion that all of us are human.
This event is chaired by Professor Jonathan Wolff, Alfred Landecker Professor of Values and Public Policy, Blavatnik School of Government, with expert comments from Lior Erez, Alfred Landecker Postdoctoral Fellow, Blavatnik School of Government and Zofia Stemplowska, Professor of Political Theory, DPIR.
The lecture is followed by a drinks reception.
