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
The talk promises to be very interesting, ending the Christ Church History Society’s (S.R. Gardiner Society) year of events by returning to the (Re-)Founder of Christ Church itself, Henry VIII. From a leading academic on sixteenth century British history, the talk will examine the reputation of Henry VIII down the ages, but more importantly, how Henry VIII viewed himself, and how that can influence our own interpretations of him.
