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
In recent years we have faced challenges that are global in scale, from the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change to inequality and discrimination. Through this, we increasingly view ourselves as part of a shared humanity, experiencing shared threats. But what does it mean to be human? Will we pull together when the going gets tough or are we naturally competitive?
This talk, held by the Laudato Si’ Research Institute, Campion Hall, aims to explore how our answers to these questions and our assumptions about innate competitiveness and aggression have affected the societies we have created in the past few decades. We will turn to evidence from the distant past to see how this can help retrieve our understanding of ourselves. I hope to prompt us to better understand human compassion and vulnerability, and find routes to rebuilding a kinder and more connected society.
