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
This interdisciplinary event brings together scholars in women’s history, the history of science, literature, theatrical performance, music and historical archaeology from across the UK and the US, to contextualise and analyse the diary of Jane Ewbank (1778‒1824).
Jane Ewbank, the twenty-five year old daughter of a York druggist, kept a 34,000-word diary between 1803-1805, which details a conscious project of self-education via reading, sociability and her involvement in the intellectual and social landscape of a northern English city, including the theatre, concerts, science lectures, the natural world and its materiality. All participants will have online access to the diary.
Speakers include:
Michael Brown (University of Lancaster); John Christie (University of Oxford); Rachel Cowgill (CECS University of York); Matthew Daniel Eddy (Durham University); Joanna de Groot (CECS University of York); Mary Fairclough (CECS University of York); Rachel Feldberg (CECS University of York); Corinne Fowler (University of Leicester); Matthew Jenkins (CECS University of York); Jon Klancher (Carnegie Mellon University); Karen Lipsedge (University of Kingston); Jon Mee (CECS University of York); Amy Prendergast (Trinity College, Dublin); Jane Rendall (CECS University of York); Anna Marie Roos (University of Lincoln); Gillian Russell (CECS University of York); Joanna Wharton (University of York).
