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
What is digital history? How can the application of digital technology transform historical research? This panel will draw lessons from a range of current projects in Oxford. The topics include the Republic of Letters, 1550-1750; the decoration of musical instruments in the Ashmolean’s collections; the rise of the fiscal-military state in early modern Europe; and the origins of the Good Friday Agreement.
Each speaker will talk for no more than 5 minutes on their digital history project, before we open up to the floor for questions and discussion.
A sandwich lunch will be provided, so please RSVP by 7 November to rf@history.ox.ac.uk, with any dietary requirements.
