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
Trinity Emeritus Fellow Bryan Ward-Perkins has worked on the period 300-700 CE throughout his career as an historian and archaeologist. In this talk he explores a topic that is, sadly, all too apposite today: the economic regression of the fifth century CE. No subsequent economic down-turn has remotely matched this in its scale and durability – but, as his talk will make clear, we have no reasons to be complacent.
