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
Jerome Bruner made a profound contribution to our understanding of the process of education and to the development of curriculum theory. With his death last year at age 100, we celebrate Bruner’s contribution to education and to research in Oxford’s Department of Education where he led an ESRC early years research programme in 1974-1978.
The memorial lecture will be given by Catherine Snow, Albjerg Graham Professor of Education at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Professor Snow is an expert on language and literacy, focusing on how oral language skills are acquired and relate to literacy. Professor Snow’s work is a compelling example of how to bridge the theory-practice gap in ways that inform both sides of the divide.
