On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
What roles can literature, philosophy, history, and the arts play in creating more positive ecological futures? Thinking in the context of Caroline Levine’s contemplation of how (and if) the humanities can effect change, I propose a potentially awkward interface of literary and material experiences – one that can be seen as complementing contemporary science, but one that also problematizes some versions of modern scientific practice. Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer’s focus on interspecies community and her optimism that people can play a positive role in their ecosystems if they learn to cooperate with plants and animals, this project encourages a symbiotic relationship between physical, material encounters and poetic imagination.
