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.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Dr Kate Kennedy is a biographer and Associate Director of the Oxford Centre for Life-Writing.

This event will follow a free talk and recital presented by the Ivor Gurney Society and OCLW:
3.15 pm – ‘Gurney and the Archive’ lecture with Professor Tim Kendall and Dr Philip Lancaster
3.45 pm – Song Recital with Andrew Randall (baritone) and Eric McElroy (piano). Their programme will include a selection of newly edited songs composed while Gurney was in the Dartford asylum together with some of his most well-known songs.
The OCLW Weinrebe Lectures are an annual series named in memory of Harry Weinrebe, a philanthropist and the founder of the Dorset Foundation.
All events will take place in the Leonard Wolfson Auditorium (LWA). Wolfson College currently operates a mandatory indoor face coverings and one-metre social distancing policy, and we can therefore offer 75 spaces are in the LWA.
