OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
🚀 Kicking off our new seminar series!
Join us for the first session of our new hashtag#TIDESeminarSeries, bringing emerging voices in development together to discuss new research on technology and innovation in development.
For our inaugural session, we will welcome Associate Professor Jonathan Greenacre, who’ll discuss how hashtag#Kenya built a network of 180,000 agents to provide mobile money services to 30 million people.
Associate Professor Greenacre brings extensive experience advising the UN, World Bank, and IMF on financial inclusion and consumer protection. His research on “bridge contracts” reveals the legal and regulatory frameworks that enabled Kenya’s mobile money revolution and what this means for financial inclusion across Africa and beyond.
