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
What are the current challenges facing UN peacekeeping? How can researchers and policymakers best join forces do address these?
Join us for an informal discussion with Dr John Cockell, who is visiting Oxford from the UN peacekeeping operation in Mali, to learn how research shapes peacekeeping policy and practice.
Chief of Strategic Planning in the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), John has previously served as head of the Butembo field office in the UN Emergency Ebola Response Office in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and with other peacekeeping, political and humanitarian assessment missions in Jordan, Lebanon, Somalia, and Sudan.
