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
In the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, understanding the ideological drivers of Moscow’s aggression has become more crucial than ever. In this talk, Anton Shekhovtsov, a leading expert on the European far right and Russian political influence, explores how the Kremlin’s pursuit of “civilizational immortality” fuels its expansionist ambitions and shapes its confrontation with the West. Drawing on his extensive research into Russian propaganda, nationalism, and transnational networks, Shekhovtsov will unpack how these narratives threaten Europe’s security and what they reveal about the regime’s worldview and future trajectory.
