Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Julie Lesnik (PhD University of Michigan, 2011) is an associate professor of anthropology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, USA. Lesnik is an interdisciplinary scholar drawing on the fields of paleoanthropology, primatology, human ecology, ethnology, and nutrition. Her primary research is in reconstructing the importance of insects as a food source over the course of human evolution. Lesnik’s expansive view not only looks back to insect consumption by our early primate ancestors but also looks forward as an advocate for more widespread insect consumption as part of a more sustainable future. Her research has been supported by the American Association of University Women and the Leakey Foundation. Her book Edible Insects and Human Evolution, published by the University Press of Florida, has been featured by news outlets including NPR and National Geographic.
