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
This year’s Thomas Harriot lecture will be given in the Harris Lecture Theatre, Oriel College by Dr Annaleigh Margey, Head of Humanities at Dundalk Institute of Technology. The lecture will be followed by an informal drinks reception in the Harris Seminar Room, adjacent to the Lecture Theatre, at 18:00.
Dr Margey’s lecture will be on “Thomas Harriot, Cartography, and Ireland”. It will explore Harriot’s time, especially his cartography output, in Munster. In doing so, it will seek to situate Harriot’s contributions in the wider context of surveying and mapping in sixteenth-century Ireland, focusing in particular on mapping for military subjugation, the reconnaissance of lands, and the establishment of plantation.
All welcome!
