OxTalks is Changing
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.

Naked in the Water: Medieval Architecture and Jewish Purification Practices
As European cities laboured to replace wooden churches with larger stone ones after the first millennium, Jewish communities began a concurrent re-designing of their own public monuments. This lecture focuses on Jewish ritual baths from the 12th and 13th centuries. Built to facilitate physical and spiritual transformation, these unique structures offer a window into some of the biggest theological debates of the Middle Ages.
