OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
