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
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?
