OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Historian Phil Tinline will be in conversation with the audience, discussing how the United States ended up enmeshed in conspiracy theories, with many believing the country is run by an malignant ‘deep state’? Drawing on his acclaimed new book, Ghosts of Iron Mountain: The Hoax That Duped America and Its Sinister Legacy, this event explores the story of an extraordinary satirical spoof, the light it sheds on Americans’ vexed relationship with truth and power and the lessons for our wider political environment.
