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
Tom Kelsey, the Humanities and Public Policy Officer within the Oxford Policy Engagement Network (researchsupport.admin.ox.ac.uk/open) will lead a session about policy engagement for DPhil and early career historians. He will outline the workings of the policy world, discuss the ways in which historians have policy impact, and reflect on his own experiences at the interface of policy and academia. Tom, who has a PhD in History, has worked with leading think-tanks such as the Resolution Foundation and the Institute for Government. Previous to his current post, he was an ESRC Policy and Research Fellow at the Blavatnik School of Government working with civil servants from the Cabinet Office.
