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
The symposium aims to bring together the perspectives of materials scientists and art historians on the transition from late antiquity to Islam. The programme will include panels on Glass, Ceramics, Metallurgy, Mining and Stonework, Manuscripts and Textile.
Speakers and panel chairs will include Anna Muthesius, Brian Gilmour, Oliver Watson, St John Simpson, Matthew Collins, Moujan Matin, Seth Priestmann, Alain George, Nadine Schibille, Matthew Ponting, Elise Morero and Hero Granger-Taylor.
