On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The European Fiscal-Military System project, funded by the ERC, transforms the conventional narrative of the violent rise of the European states system by revealing how belligerent competition also involved cooperation. States’ emergence was co-dependent and entailed developing ways to obtain war-making resources from beyond their jurisdictions. In the second of two sets of conversations, John Condren and Michael Martoccio explore how the city republics of Geneva and Genoa functioned as key hubs for the transfer of resources between theatres of war (such as northern Italy and the Netherlands). Such resources ranged from money to munitions, and this conversation also discusses the often shady individuals involved.
This seminar will be held online. To register your interest and submit any questions in advance, please email briony.truscott@history.ox.ac.uk by Tuesday 16 June.
