OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Edible Insects and Human Evolution
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.
