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
The Myth of the Medieval Anglo-Jewish Ladder Maker: (Real) Jewish Professions in Medieval England
Dean Irwin is a Visiting Fellow of the University of Lincoln. Before joining the institution he completed his PhD at Canterbury Christ Church University, under the supervision of Professor Louise Wilkinson and Dr Leonie Hicks. His thesis examined the extant acknowledgements of debt, or records generated by Jewish moneylending activities, which were produced between 1194 and 1276. He has also published a series of articles on both those records, and the administrative processes which underpinned their production, use, storage, and preservation. The medieval Lincoln Jewry played an important part in his study, with a chapter being dedicated to debtors at the Lincoln archa.
