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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Rebecca Earle teaches history at the University of Warwick, where she also completed her doctorate. Her research has concentrated primarily the relationship between everyday life and broader categories of identity such as those associated with race or nation. For some years she has worked particularly on the relationship between everyday eating practices and the evolution of, first, racial categories, and, more recently, notions of governance and the idea of the free market. Her last monograph, The Body of the Conquistador, won the Conference on Latin American History’s Bolton-Johnson Prize for the best publication in English on Latin American history. Her most recent publication is Potato, which was published in Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series in March 2019.
