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.
Isaac Newton as theologian, artisan, and roommate: some new documents
This talk will introduce some letters between Newton and his college roommate, John Wickins, that were previously unknown to scholarship. They shed light on what Newton’s greatest biographer, Richard Westfall, called the ‘mystery wrapped in an enigma’ of Newton’s relationship with Wickins. Beyond that, they provide precious new evidence for the chronology and nature of Newton’s first interest in theology and for his hands-on collaboration with London artisans.
