Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
William Kuskin isn’t just Head of English at Boulder. He’s also the person who first introduced me to the academic study of comics, through his 2013 MOOC ‘Comic Books and Graphic Novels’, a fantastic and eye-opening course that inspired hundreds of students across the globe. William’s main research area is the history of the book. He has written and edited books and articles on William Caxton, the emergence of printing in the fifteenth century, the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity, comic books, and online pedagogy. He contributes to Inside Higher Education and even writes an occasional blog on motorcycling. He will be talking to us on the mouth-watering topic of ‘The Grid: Prefiguration In Ultimate Spider Man’.
