OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Anxiety over the Passive Presence of the Historical Past
“Historical Anxiety” will explore anxiety about the historical present and how it impacts our understanding of the past and the future. Among the
manifestations of this anxiety that will be discussed are the sense of an unending and inescapable present, the feeling that time is accelerating uncontrollably, the troubled memorialization of historical events, and the relationship between power and differing conceptions of history.
Events are Free via Zoom. 2pm ET/7pm UK. Information and registration at thephilosopher1923.org/events
