OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Workshop on Pitching your First Book in Comparative Literature and Translation
In this workshop, aimed primarily at DPhil students and early-career researchers, we will talk about the challenges of publishing your first book in the areas of comparative literature, modern languages and/or literary translation. Based on her experience of publishing Translation Multiples (PUP 2025), Kasia will discuss the importance of choosing and approaching the right publisher for the first book project, writing an effective book proposal, and navigating the academic publishing industry more broadly.
