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
On behalf of the Research Director Julia Smith, I would like to invite you all to the Trinity Term Research Forum. The forum will take place 13:00-14:30 on Wednesday 12 June, in the Faculty Common Room.
The format will be an informal monograph showcase, due to the success of this format last year, and a sandwich lunch will be provided. Three books will be briefly introduced and reviewed by a colleague from a different field, followed by a response from each author and some discussion. The books for review are:
Philippa Byrne, Justice and mercy: Moral theology and the exercise of law in twelfth-century England; reviewed by Ben Jackson.
Marc Mulholland, The Murderer of Warren Street: The True Story of a Nineteenth-Century Revolutionary; reviewed by Hannah Skoda.
Alan Strathern, Unearthly Powers: Religious and Political Change in World History; reviewed by David Priestland.
Many thanks to our authors and reviewers for kindly taking part.
To give an idea of numbers for catering purposes, please RSVP to rf@history.ox.ac.uk by 5th June, with any dietary requirements.
