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
Dr Benjamin Bateman is Senior Lecturer in Post-1900 British Literature and Director of Learning and Teaching in The School of Literatures, Languages, and Cultures at The University of Edinburgh. His monographs are The Modernist Art of Queer Survival and Queer Disappearance in Modern and Contemporary Fiction, both from Oxford University Press.
In this two-day lecture series, Benjamin will share insights from the research for his new book project that revisits HIV/AIDS fiction from the 1980s and 1990s and examines both its (underappreciated) formal complexity and its co-emergence with the field of queer theory. Authors to be studied include Andrew Holleran, Dale Peck, Sarah Schulman, John Weir, and Patricia Powell.
