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
Determined to prove themselves different from the tyrannical Spanish, early modern British Protestants were convinced they could win converts by modelling a religious and social life so appealing that ‘heathen’ peoples would freely embrace it. This lecture will discuss why this quixotic conviction persisted in the teeth of contrary evidence, and examine the poisonous residue left by its eventual evaporation.
