Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

Richard Ekins (Tutorial Fellow in Law, St John’s College, University of Oxford)
Jay Sexton (Associate Professor of American History, University of Oxford)
Chaired by Helen Small (Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford and author of The Value of the Humanities)
