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
Julia Hollander writes non-fiction that originates in the lived experience, interweaving
personal narratives with cutting edge research. Her first book, Indian Folk
Theatres (Routledge, 2009) derived from over a decade working in India as a stage
director and performer. She went on to write two memoirs about family life, When the
Bough Breaks (John Murray, 2010), and Chicken Coops for the Soul (Guardian Books,
2011). More recently, she returned to her performing arts roots with Why We
Sing (Atlantic, 2023) an exploration of the way in which singing benefits everyday
wellbeing. She has also written plays for BBC radio including a dramatisation of
When the Bough Breaks.
