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
Professor Das will be speaking about Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel prize winning poet, songwriter, philosopher and educationalist, who also had a number of links to Harris Manchester College.

He is the author of Touch and Intimacy in First World War Literature (2006) and India, Empire and First World War Culture: Writings, Images, and Songs (2018) which won the Hindu Non-Fiction Award in India and the European Society for the Study of English Prize in 2020. He is currently editing the Oxford Book of First World War Empire Writing and completing a book, provisionally titled Archive, Testimony, and the Literary in Twentieth-Century Culture, for Cambridge University Press.
This year’s Manchester Lecture will be the first in our newly renovated chapel.
