OxTalks is Changing
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

“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.
