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 members across the Heritage Network for a virtual Heritage Tea. We are grateful to have guest speaker at this session Professor Dan Hicks to discuss the Twitter initiative #MuseumsUnlocked. The informal gathering will also be the opportunity to e-meet other members and staff of the network. We will be joined by Prof. Heather Viles, Dr. Oliver Cox and OUHN staff.

Dan works on the material and visual culture of the modern, (post)colonial and contemporary world, and on the history of Archaeology and Anthropology.
