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
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.
