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
In a changing society, museums and heritage sites have a crucial role in helping us to understand our past, and contextualise our present. How can historic collections be made to speak to contemporary concerns, and serve the needs of a wide and diverse community? Drawing on their experiences as curators and researchers, Dr Amy Lim and Elisabeth Grass will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, and some of the different ways in which in museums and country houses are engaging with diverse audiences and telling new stories.
