OxTalks is Changing
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
Round-table ‘Community, Brexit and Fiction’
Speakers:
Timothy Baker (University of Aberdeen)
Bob Eaglestone (Royal Holloway)
Patrick McGuinness (University of Oxford)
Anne Varty (Royal Holloway)
David Wheatley (University of Aberdeen)
Since the leave vote in June 2016, there has been a wealth of literary works that teased out the ramifications of Brexit in many aspects of our lives. On the 31st of January 2020, as the United Kingdom left the EU, the Poet Laureate, normally expected to pen poetry for national events, remained silent. Unsurprisingly so perhaps, given the fragmenting of the country around the fraught questions of the Irish border and Scottish referendum. This round table will explore how this fragmentation of the United Kingdom in the aftermath of Brexit is reflected in the writing of authors from the four nations, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
