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
Reliable sources on the history of herbal medicine can be hard to find and HHRN aims to connect people who share common interests in researching the history of herbal medicine. Thank you for all your support over the last fifteen years and as a voluntary group, all ticket sales and donations are used to fund our website, study groups, student travel bursaries and research events.
The Herbal History Research Network (HHRN) is celebrating the anniversary with this online seminar.
We will send you a pdf of the speakers’ abstracts & bios when you register.
