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
A Woman’s Place in Wikipedia
Registration closes at 17:00 on Monday 2 December
Women are lacking visibility on Wikipedia and 18th Century figures especially have very little presence. Led by visiting French curator Jeanne Flamant and hosted by the Centre for Digital Scholarship, this workshop will explore how to create new Wikipedia pages for women from the 18th Century whose lives have been documented on the Electronic Enlightenment platform – digital editions of over 70,000 letters from the 17th-19th centuries.
Attendees will discover more about Wikipedia and how to increase the visibility of collections, while promoting the roles of women in the 18th century, ensuring they are more than just a line on someone else’s Wikipedia page.
This free event is open to University of Oxford staff and includes refreshments (limited spaces available). Find out more and register here: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/oxford/women-in-wiki-event
