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
Join our sensory introduction to modern Mongolia!
This thriving democracy, sandwiched between Russia and China, is home to extensive grasslands called steppes. Steppes are cared for by nomadic farming communities, who also look after herds of horses, camels, goats, sheep and yak. The area is also one of the biggest suppliers of cashmere in the world, as well as valuable minerals such as gold and copper. Immerse yourself in contemporary Mongolian art, and traditional Mongolian games, food and drink, as we think about the link between everyday items in our homes, and the people looking after the steppes.
This is a drop-in activity – just turn up!
Suitable for all ages.
This event will be led by Keiko Kanno, School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography; Dr Ariell Ahearn Ligham, School of Geography and Environment, University of Oxford.
