OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

“Life more abundant” was a major commitment of the anti-colonial movement. Today, entrenched autocracies, militant Islamism, military coups,
domestic warfare, forced migration and the morphing of external intervention overshadow fragile progress in democracy and development. Frank
assessment needs to be conducted on why the outcomes have differed so much from the aspirations.
Richard Joseph will share ideas on an appropriate academic response to these issues, and areas where there may be hope.
This event will be available to join in-person, and streamed online.
