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.
This reading group celebrates LGBTQ+ History Month by taking a close look at some modern queer short stories (broadly conceived). Topics of conversation might include how moments in LBGTQ+ history are portrayed in fiction; how far queer identity or desire is a matter of interpretation in the chosen stories (and whether this matters), and what makes storytelling queer.
In our final session, Becca Bradburn will introduce a discussion of Langston Hughes’s ‘Seven People Dancing’ (c.1961). All are welcome, and feel free to bring your lunch! Please contact Julyan Oldham with any questions or for reading material.
