OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

The presentation will explore the role of the Indian Telegraph Department, the British Post Office, and
capital concerns like the Marconi International Marine Communication and Lloyds, exposing their mutual rivalries
in attempting to create a viable wireless network. The Marconi archive at the Bodleian throws light on
how the Marconi Company promoted itself in this region, and reveals how certain parts of India not directly
under British control may have tried to modernize themselves along the lines of the colonial state.
