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
The new translation of Marx’s Capital, vol. 1, published in 2024 by Princeton University Press, relaunches Marx’s seminal text in a clear modern English prose style that skilfully recovers the wit, rigour and intellectual adventure of Marx’s German masterpiece. Paul North (Yale) co-edited the new edition and will be speaking on why Marx’s anger, indiscipline, and creativity are so essential for an understanding of the state of capitalist economies around the world in the 2020s. There will be 4 short responses to his talk.
