Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
George Cecil Ives (1867-1950) was a scion of the English gentry, a sexologist and a criminologist who founded a clandestine ‘gay rights’ organization, the Order of Chaeronea, in the 1890s. More significantly for the historian, he wrote a massive diary, observing and chronicling a sexual revolution: the period when new categories of sexual and gendered identity crystallized in a complex interplay between emerging sexological science and queer subjects. This lecture aims to capture the Ivesian bricolage, in context, during this time of momentous change.
