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
Giuseppe Marcocci is Associate Professor in Iberian History (European and Extra-European, 1450-1800), Exeter College. His main research interests lie at the intersection of politics, culture and religion across the early modern Iberian world. Among his publications in this field there is a book on the Portuguese imperial ideology (2012). He is currently working on two projects: one is a comparative study of visual insult and political dissent in the Iberian empires, the other explores the Spanish discussion about the Portuguese Empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He is also interested in a broader understanding of the Renaissance. His last book is about the writing of world histories in the sixteenth century (2016), while next months will see the publication of the edited volume Machiavelli, Islam and the East.
