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
Welcome to the 2021 postgraduate conference featuring the work of students from across the history of science, medicine, and technology. Coming from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from evolutionary biology to English literature, each student brings a unique perspective to the themes and methodologies they explore. The title of this year’s conference, Picture This: Charting Themes Across HSMT, highlights how a vast array of topics, from botany to Brazilian explorers, are connected together in a common picture, capturing our particular network of history. Interdisciplinary, critical, and relevant; historians of science, medicine, and technology help us to navigate the world with context and nuance. Each presentation is only a snippet of the time and energy put into each individual’s research and we want to thank everyone for sharing regardless of where they are with their dissertation.
