OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Join the Emerging Threats Group’s Isabel Schulze Froning, BwConsulting’s Dr. Sebastian Seidel, Taskeen Ali of HM Revenue & Customs, and the OECD’s Joshua Polchar to explore soft power at the mid-point of the 2020s, in a special hybrid in-person & online session moderated by Dr. Matt Finch, Associate Fellow of the Saïd Business School and principal at mechanicaldolphin.com.
Ranging across sectors, the session will explore questions such as:
- How is the nature of soft power changing?
- What part are critical and emerging technologies playing in these changes?
- What is the role of soft power in 21st century geopolitical dynamics?
- What threats and opportunities might be emerging?
- Do we see ways in which changes in the soft power environment affect the changing character of armed conflict?
