OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
