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
For Hilary’s first reading group, we will be discussing Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. The book has been described as a ‘New York Times bestseller from the Grammy-nominated indie rockstar Japanese Breakfast, an unflinching, deeply moving memoir about growing up mixed-race, Korean food, losing her Korean mother, and forging her own identity in the wake of her loss.’
We will read this novel alongside other media including the New Yorker article it is based on, a YouTube cooking channel featured in the book, and Michelle Zauner’s own discography.
If you plan on attending this event, please RSVP here: tinyurl.com/587kjdmh. To receive extracts of the readings and to be kept updated about our other upcoming events, please join our mailing list: tinyurl.com/29v3er43
