About the Oxford Round Table
The Oxford Round Table is an interdisciplinary conference held on the premises of Oxford University. The first meeting of the Oxford Round Table was held at St. Peter's College. Billed in its advertising as a prestigious event, the round table does bring together scholars from a variety of intellectual backgrounds, from new professors to college presidents, to discuss research on specific topics usually related to educational policy:
"Invitees to Round Tables are determined based on several criteria, among which are nominations by earlier attendees, courses that invitees teach, their presentations and writings, and their professional involvement in a relevant area of interest. An attempt is also made to diversify as to the type of institution, public or private, and to involve institutions representing different levels of education, i.e. schools, community colleges, four-year colleges, graduate and research universities."
The approximate cost of attending the Oxford Round Table is $2,940; it is not known if that rate will change with the depreciation of the American dollar.
Despite the name of the event, the Oxford Round Table has no formal ties to Oxford University. The ORT merely rents space from one of the Oxford colleges. The Oxford Round Table is a for-profit corporation based in Kentucky.
Journal
The Oxford Round Table publishes an biennual Journal, The Forum on Public Policy: A Journal of the Oxford Round Table. The stated mission of the journal, according to its website, is
"to disseminate knowledge with regard to salient issues in public affairs. This includes research and policy advancement in both the public and private sectors that address government issues at state, national and international levels of discourse . . . articles must advance knowledge, theory, and practice . . . the content of articles must be accurate and technically competent . . . Third, articles must be well written, clear, well organized, and stylistically correct. A manuscript submitted for publication to the Forum must be original and not under consideration for any other publications. When a manuscript is published by the Forum, it become the property of the Forum with the Forum possessing exclusive right to publication. All authors will be required to sign a consent to publish form upon acceptance."
Issues of the Journal are thematic in nature. While the emphasis is purported to be on public affairs, the emphasis is on educational policy issues. More recently the Journal moved to online publishing. Three libraries in the United States carry the journal in hard copy.
