Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
I argue that when thinking about policies that might harm or benefit future people, we should place much more weight on worse consequences than on better ones. This follows from the fact that (I will argue) we ought to make decisions under the assumption that future people are very risk-averse. I explore the implications for some practical decisions, such as climate policy.
