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
For the last session of term, we welcome visiting speaker Vivien Sieber to present her recent book ‘Kino and Kinder: A Family’s Journey in the Shadow of the Holocaust’. The narrative of the book moves between Brno, Vienna, London, Newcastle, Windermere, the Isle of Man, and Canada as it follows the lives of one refugee family. The book provides many details about life in Vienna, Austria and Central Europe before World War Two and in post-war London, with over eighty unique original photographs.
