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

17:15 - Inaugural JRF in Peace Studies Seminar: Combatant Experiences in Multi-Ethnic Extremist Groups: Identity and Allegiance in Boko Haram
Inaugural Seminar 5.00 for 5.15 pm in the Simpkins Lee Theatre at LMH, followed by a celebratory drinks reception in the Monson Room. The Levin Junior Research Fellowship in Peace Studies, the first Peace Studies post in the history of Oxford, is named in memory of Jerry and Sis Levin, who dedicated their lives to the search for peace following Jerry Levin’s kidnapping in Beirut in the 1980s while he was CNN’s bureau chief. Endowed by the Levins’ children, the Fellowship is intended to support the research aspirations of an outstanding early-career academic, while also strengthening connections between scholarship and the wider national and international community.
