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
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).
