OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
English Faculty Pedagogy Forum
Please join us for a new twice-termly forum for discussing some of the the questions arising from the teaching of English in Oxford at the present moment. There will be short readings for each meeting, which will relate both to large pedagogical questions (political, ethical, conceptual) and to the practical minutiae and mechanisms of our teaching. We hope that this will be a forum to learn from one another, and share ideas and strategies, enthusiasms and frustrations, of all kinds.
Anyone currently teaching (or soon about to teach) Oxford English undergraduates is welcome. Details of times, location and readings below. If you have difficulty locating the readings please email joseph.moshenska@ell.ox.ac.uk.
Readings: bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, ch.1: “Engaged Pedagogy” (pp.13-22); Jacques Rancière, The Ignorant Schoolmaster, ch1: “An Intellectual Adventure” (pp.1-18).
