OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
#FridaysForFuture & Extinction Rebellion: How should the Scientific Community engage?
Amid school strikes, climate marches and protests around the world, there is much ongoing
dialogue among the scientific community regarding how scientists should (or should not) engage
with climate activism For example, if scientists directly participate in activist movements, does
that jeopardize their credibility? Or do scientists, especially those working on environmental
issues, have a responsibility to lend their expertise to these movements? Please join us for a
lively discussion on potential opportunities, risks and paths forward on the relationship between
science and climate activism during these crucial times
