On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join Dr Eisler in a discussion of Energy, Environment and Society, chaired by Dr Catherine M Jackson, Director of the Oxford Centre for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology.
The conversation will be followed by a sandwich lunch.
This event has limited capacity and is open to registered participants only.
Dr Matthew N Eisler is Chancellor’s Fellow in History, University of Strathclyde, and author of Overpotential: Fuel Cells, Futurism, and the Making of a Power Panacea (Rutgers University Press, 2012) and Age of Auto Electric: Environment, Energy, and the Quest for the Sustainable Car (MIT Press, 2022). Dr Eisler’s research reveals how ideology and policy shape social relations and the biosphere. His current project Greenwork and Environmental Knowledge (funded by RWTH Aachen University) interrogates how environmental regulation co-produces labour, science, engineering, and business practices, developing his interdisciplinary approach to central themes of contemporary concern.
