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
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.
