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
Attend this public discussion event exploring death across different cultural contexts of a diverse society hosted by our panel of experts. This is an open panel-led public conversation involving academics and museum curator. It will involve experts from TORCH Medical Humanities Hub, the ANTITHESES Platform and the Uehiro Oxford Institute at Oxford in dialogue with the public.
This event is complemented by a self-guided museum trail at the Ashmolean museum between 6th-15th of November 2025, 10am- 5pm in Oxford that you can do before or after the panel discussion. The self-guided trail can be done between museum hours at your own convenience. (Drop in event- No booking required).
The trail is suitable for ages 14+ and panel discussion is recommended for ages 16 and above.
