Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
EXHIBITION, BOOK AND EVENTS PROGRAMME
Lande is a major new temporary exhibition about the material and visual culture of the Calais “Jungle”. It opens at Oxford’s Pitt Rivers Museum on Saturday 27 April and runs to 29 November 2019. Entry to the exhibit is free, but donations to Help Refugees are encouraged (secure contactless giving is installed in the exhibition).
