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
The Cyber Strategy and Technology Studies Group meets every Wednesday from 15:00 to 16:00 during term-time. It has a hybrid meeting format, held in person in the Chester Room at Nuffield College and on Zoom. Working Group meetings explore a spread of topics concerning digital strategy, including the impact of AI on security and politics, cyber security dynamics and geopolitics, disinformation, deepfakes, and social media, digital inequality and sovereignty, and more. Around half of the weekly sessions consist of Working Group Discussions oriented around a previously chosen discussion topic and accompanied by academic materials for participants to read in advance of the meeting. Other sessions consist of guest speakers lecturing or of DPhil Fireside Chats, which involve doctoral students from a range of Oxford departments sharing relevant works in progress and/or published papers to spark interdisciplinary dialogue on contemporary and strategic technology/security issues.
