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
Oxford Fulbright Lecture: The best of centuries or the worst of centuries?
Professor Lord Nicholas Stern of Brentford will deliver the 8th Annual Oxford Fulbright Distinguished Lecture in International Relations on ‘The best of centuries or the worst of centuries? Leadership, governance and cohesion in an interdependent world’.
The international economic order, which William Fulbright helped to build after the second World War, served fairly well for much of the second half of the last century, but it must be re-cast for our increasingly interdependent world if we are to avoid the grave risks we face, including climate change, pandemics and conflict. If we do, and this will require both leadership and collaboration, we could create a very attractive future, the best of centuries. If not, the destruction which could follow, could take us to the worst of centuries.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception.
