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
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).
