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.
Loving Literature? Values, attitudes and transitions in English
In this seminar, I report on a study of the transition between A Level English and University English, examining different manifestations of the discipline in different settings and suggesting implications for the teaching of the subject in schools and universities. I explore the contested nature of the English curriculum and some of the ways in which it enshrines cultural values whilst evading theoretical and conceptual underpinning (for instance in relation to literary theory and critical literacy). I briefly discuss projects relating to the teaching of poetry, literary theory and postcolonialism which emerged from this study of transition.
