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
Ngaire Woods is hosting Isobel Coleman for a conversation about her role as Chief Operating Officer for GiveDirectly, a nonprofit organisation that helps families living in extreme poverty by making unconditional cash transfers to them via mobile phone. During the conversation, Isobel will discuss the organisation’s efforts to nudge policymakers toward considering bigger cash transfers, share new experimental evidence GiveDirectly is generating on cash operations, and give insights on how she sees the policy landscape on cash transfers evolving in the future.
