We have a large team of academic researchers who provide talks on several subjects and are keen to be invited as a guest speaker for educational talks. All our team members are experts in their field and researchers in their own areas, including history, politics, medicine, international relation, sociology, and more.

Any of the talks below can be booked for private or public events, in person or online. These talks and workshops have been researched and designed by our academic team to provide engaging content. If you are interested in something more bespoke and want one of our team to be a guest speaker, get in touch to enquire about developing a lecture for your organisation.

The length of our presentations can be adapted for longer or shorter events with prior agreement. Book one of our talks below or get in touch to enquire about developing a bespoke lecture for your organisation.

• Activists and Agitators: Engage with the stories of women who challenged the masculine structures of the city and university, pushing against stereotypes and finding new ways to make a name for themselves in Oxford and abroad. This lecture goes into the tense relationship women of the city have always had with university power structures and brings forward many struggles that women still feel in the modern experience of Oxford.
• Oxford PPE – Power, Politics, and Empire: Oxford’s modern global reputation is a deeply entrenched in processes of British imperial expansion. It’s various disciplines were shaped around imperial knowledge, and many departments were founded to extend imperial power.
• The History of Medicine at Oxford: Medicine has helped define the complex relationship between the city and the university over the past five centuries. This lecture covers the origins of medical study and teaching in the university, the history of anatomy and dissection in the city, the development and running of the John Radcliffe Hospital, and pivotal moments in medical research, such as the early trials with penicillin.
