OxTalks is Changing
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
Symposium: Radical business? Business and the contest over social norms
This one-day symposium at the Weston Library, University of Oxford brings together an interdisciplinary group of speakers to offer insights into how business has acted as a radical force to upset and replace social norms over time.
Whether seeking to normalize new products and services, or responding to regulatory patterns or reputational risks, business is engaged in a constant negotiation with larger cultural codes.
Speakers will discuss the consequences of this contest over social norms, including ethical as well as strategic implications. By gathering researchers from across disciplines, the symposium will also explore common conceptual ground to understand the significance of this problem for the history of capitalism and management.
Presented in association with the Oxford Centre for Global History, Global History of Capitalism project, Faculty of History, University of Oxford
