OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Established in 1985, the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco is internationally recognized for its work in queer public history. Its archives are among the largest LGBTQ history collections in the world, and its museum welcomes more than 20,000 visitors annually. Queer public historian Gerard Koskovich, a founding member of the society, offers an inside look at the historical context and creation of the organization, its approaches to conceiving and using the queer and trans past, and the ways it engages with equity and diversity. In addition, he’ll highlight the ongoing importance of community-based history initiatives even as mainstream museums and research libraries begin to address LGBTQ subjects.
