OxTalks is Changing
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.

Philip Geddes Memorial Lecture 2026
Stephen Bush, Associate Editor and columnist at the Financial Times will discuss: “What do journalists owe the open society?”
In a time of geopolitical uncertainty, demographic pressures, and in which the open society – which while journalism can exist without, it makes our jobs significantly easier – we talk a lot about what is driving these crises, what politicians should do, what businesses should do, what activists, universities or citizens should do. But what are our obligations as journalists to the open society – and are we meeting them?
This is a free public lecture.
