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
Anne Lister – often described as the first modern lesbian – was a prolific diarist whose life story was told in the recent TV series, Gentleman Jack. Join us and a panel of experts to celebrate the opening of the University of York’s newest college, Anne Lister College. Find out about Anne Lister’s life and legacy, and explore the making of Gentleman Jack, with Laurie Shannon (Professor of English Literature at Northwestern and coordinator of the Anne Lister Society), Sally Wainwright (BAFTA award-winning television writer, producer, and director and creator of the TV series Gentleman Jack), and Gary Brannan (Keeper of Archives at the Borthwick, where a copy of Anne Lister’s will is housed). The discussion will be chaired by Emma Barnett (main presenter of Woman’s Hour and regular presenter on Newsnight).
