Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
I don’t use ink or paper,

The great truths of four ages
Kabir tells with his mouth alone.
If Kabir, the great 15th-century Hindi poet of Banaras, didn’t write anything, how do we now have thousands of poems in his name? This talk will offer a history of Kabir texts and their audiences, concluding with a closer look at the contents of a Rajasthani manuscript dated 1614-21, which Linda Hess is currently translating. There will be a poetry reading!
