OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Creative Writing Seminar: Memoir: making life real on the page
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.
