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
Part of the Vera Fine-Grodzinski Programme for Writing Jewish Women’s Lives
At the core of OCLW’s new programme on Writing Jewish Women’s Lives, our new series of afternoon literary salons are a chance to discuss books by and about Jewish women. The two sessions in Michaelmas term will be led by author Rebecca Abrams, on the theme ‘Into the Darkness, Towards the Light: Jewish women’s lives beyond the Holocaust’.
On 21 November we welcome writer and campaigner Natasha Walter who will be in conversation with Rebecca about her new book Before the Light Fades: A Memoir of Grief and Resistance, which is one of several works that will have been discussed at the first salon. We will also be joined by a bookseller on the 21st, from whom you can buy the book and others relevant to the programme.
