OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.

Lord Chris Smith in conversation
Join Worcester College Provost, David Isaac CBE, as he interviews leading role models about their lives and careers. Chris Smith, The Rt Hon. the Lord Smith of Finsbury, was Labour MP for Islington South & Finsbury from 1983 to 2005. During this time, he became the first British MP to ‘come out’ and was the world’s first openly gay cabinet minister. He served as Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport between 1997 and 2001, overseeing the reintroduction of free museum entry in the UK. After leaving the House of Commons, he chaired the Environment Agency and the Advertising Standards Authority. Since 2015, he has been Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge – the first openly gay head of house at the university.
