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.
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.
