OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Presentism, Uncertainty, Disorientation
“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
