Oxford CEMS in the Schwarzman: Early Modern Conversations in Ecology: ‘True Fire: Saint Augustine, the Climate Crisis, and Creative Non-Fiction’ / ‘Affective Ecologies in Petrarch’s Lyric Poems’ - Oxford Talks

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
