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.

Sir Roger Scruton (1944-2020) was a philosopher, writer, and commentator of tremendous energy and genius. From smuggling books into the Soviet Union to composing operas to shepherding the Building Better commission, nothing was beyond the scope of his talents. He also taught for many years at Oxford University, where he left behind countless friends.
The annual Scruton lectures aim to honour his legacy by providing the very highest level of academic, cultural, and political discourse to everyone in Oxford, regardless of affiliation of any kind, free of charge.
