Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Professor Stephen Milner, British School at Rome, will deliver the 26th Henry Rowlatt Bickley Memorial Lecture on Tuesday 21st May at St Hugh’s College.
The lecture will examine the story of the publication of the 1911 copy of Dante’s Divine Comedy by Leo S. Olshcki and Giuseppe Landi Passerini, to commemorate the anniversary of Italian unification.
Known as the Dante monumentale for its size and magnificence, the history of the production and publication process in the years immediately prior to WW1 saw the project take on a political significance which involved not only the publisher and editor but also D’Annunzio and the Italian navy.
