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
At the slightly different time of 13.00 to 14.00 GMT next week on Monday 8th February, we’ll be hearing a paper entitled ‘Rudyard Kipling’s Video Game’ from Timothy Gao, who is currently a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow at NTU Singapore, and the author of Virtual Play and the Victorian Novel: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Fictional Experience, forthcoming with Cambridge University Press in April 2021.
Talks will last around thirty to forty minutes with the rest of the hour being left for questions and discussion. Please contact organisers Harry Daniels (harry.daniels@balliol.ox.ac.uk) or Lauren Cullen (lauren.cullen@oriel.ox.ac.uk) to receive the Zoom link.
Please turn off your screens and microphones for the talk itself, but please do turn them back on for the Q&A when you want to ask a question (if you feel comfortable to).
