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
Join OCLW for an evening with scholar and writer Yosef Wosk as we celebrate the launch of his latest book, New Life Joke Shop: Travels and Observations.
New Life Joke Shop is the second volume in Yosef’s autobiographical trilogy. Through essays and vignettes that fuse travel writing, memoir and cultural critique, he offers what he calls “a confectionary, a philosophical variety store, a word emporium of observations on Ageing, Arts, Books, Charity”, and more. Written through a lens he terms psychogeography—“the cosmos becoming conscious of itself through the agency of human awareness”—the collection treats streets, interiors, archives and objects as catalysts for thinking about memory, technology, conflict and care.
Yosef will read from New Life Joke Shop and reflect on its form, themes, and key contentions.
Open to all. Registration recommended (required for online attendance).
