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
Papers and speakers for this seminar will be: ‘Family Background, Exam Performance, and the Appointment and Promotion of Qing Civil Officials, 1830-1912’ by Cameron Campbell (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology); ‘Marriage choices and Social Homogamy through 19th and 20th centuries: the case of Milan’ by Giulia Corti (University of Trento); ‘The Shadow of Peasant Past: Seven Generations of Inequality Persistence in Northern Sweden’ by Martin Hällsten (Stockholm University) with Martin Kolk
