OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Curious Minds: Gilbert White and Thomas Pennant
This talk builds on an exhibition of the same name held earlier this year by the AHRC funded Curious Travellers Project (curioustravellers.ac.uk/en), of which I am a part, and hosted at the Gilbert White Museum in Hampshire. While the project as a whole considers Thomas Pennants entire body of work, my focus, and that of this talk, centres on the conversations between the two naturalists, Rev. Gilbert White (1720-1793) and Thomas Pennant (FRS 1727-1798), and how that developed their work and legacy.
