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
Join us for a digital scholarship coffee gathering – tea and coffee will be provided. At this session we’ll have a short talk from Yannik Herbert, DPhil student at Corpus Christi College, Oxford:
What would it look like if modern navigation apps had existed 200 years ago? This talk explores the process of digitising historical itineraries and travellers’ guides into modern transit data standards, and writing software for visualising these historical networks and understanding historical mobility by bringing 19th century stage-coaches to life.
These will be held in the Visiting Scholars Centre, so to attend you’ll need to bring your Bodleian Card and to leave your bags in the lockers – this event is only open to University staff and students.
