On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join OCLW for the first of this term’s Laura Marcus Workshops.
Once we get beyond the clichés about oversharing and privacy online, what does it mean to write a life in the digital age? What impacts do publishers, platforms, and publics have on the way life-writing appears to us today? This session will consider the longer history of digital life-writing, as well as exploring changes to our notion of a writer’s archive, and the challenges posed to literary writing when a life can be reduced to a stream of data.
The workshop leaders will be Adam Guy and Sarah Ogilvie, convened by Kate Kennedy.
Participants should come prepared to think about any aspect of life-writing in relation to online publishing, social media, digitising of archives, online platforms.
