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.
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.
