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 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.
