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
The discovery of an envelope of photographs taken at the British Pharmacological Society meeting in 1937 labelled ‘Joint meeting with the German Pharmacological Society’ in the Pharmacology Department in Oxford provided the impetus to find out more. Together with the Chair of the German Pharmacological Society, this special event aims to look more closely at the shared histories of both societies pre-war and the subsequent disruption to academic careers. Talks will share new material looking at exile in the 1930s under National Socialism, the cost to academia and some surprising alliances.
