OxTalks is Changing
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.

Starting Out in Translation Studies: Early Career Reflections
What does it mean to begin a career in translation studies today, amid a shifting academic landscape and increasing precarity in the humanities? In this roundtable, early career scholars reflect candidly on their journeys into the field – sharing insights into job applications, research proposals, interdisciplinary positioning, and the challenges and opportunities of working in translation at a time of institutional change. Each speaker will offer a short reflection before opening up to audience questions and wider discussion. This is an event for anyone considering a future in translation studies, or simply curious about what that future of the field might look like.
