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
Join Helen Carr and Suzannah Lipscomb in conversation about their latest book, What is History, Now?, a ground breaking collection of essays addressing the burning issue of how we interpret history today.
Inspired by the influential text What is History? authored by Helen Carr’s great-grandfather, E.H. Carr, What is History, Now? covers topics such as queer history, the history of faith, the history of disability, environmental history, the history of racism and anti-racism, escaping imperial nostalgia, hearing women’s voices and ‘rewriting’ the past.
Featuring a diverse mix of writers, with both bestselling names and emerging voices, the book is a timely collection studying our relationship with the past and the present.
Helen Carr and Suzannah Lipscomb will be in conversation with Jess Nelson, Head of Collections at The National Archives.
