Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
In this seminar, Susan Kahn draws upon her acclaimed biography, Canine Pioneer: The Extraordinary Life of Rudolphina Menzel, to discuss the long and complex life and legacy of Rudolphina Menzel (née Waltuch, 1891-1973).
Kahn’s is the first biography of Rudolphina Menzel, a Viennese-born Jewish scientist. Menzel’s pioneering research on canine psychology, development, and behaviour fundamentally shaped the ways dogs came to be trained, cared for, and understood. Her research had far‑reaching impacts on not only German police and military dog‑training tactics, but also on the Zionist project.
Registration is recommended for in-person attendance and required for hybrid attendance. Please use the booking link below for both bookings.
