OxTalks is Changing
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
Brazil: Looking ahead
Brazil holds runoff elections at the end of October, with former president Lula da Silva competing against the incumbent president, Jair Bolsonaro. The winner of this contest, along with the new congress, is due to start another term in January.
On 31 October, the Lemann Foundation Programme for the Public Sector will hold a panel discussion seeking to look ahead and consider Brazil’s policy needs. It will touch upon the bureaucracy and fiscal management and will feature the team’s recent research findings on perceptions of educational needs and realities faced by low-income households.
The panellists will be Timothy Power (head of social sciences, University of Oxford), Gabriela Lotta (professor, Getúlio Vargas Foundation, Sao Paulo), Leany Lemos (visiting fellow of practice), Anna Petherick and Filipe Recch.
