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.
The Sanchos in 2024: A symposium to celebrate Charles Ignatius Sancho’s Letters in Electronic Enlightenment
To celebrate the launch of the letters of Charles Ignatius Sancho in Electronic Enlightenment, the Centre for Digital Scholarship and Electronic Enlightenment team are hosting a half-day, in-person, academic symposium exploring the life and legacy of a man who, born into slavery, became a composer, shopkeeper, and man-of-letters.
While Sancho scholars benefit from his extensive epistolary documentation of his life and the circles he moved in, from the back rooms of elite manors, to the theatrical and commercial spheres of London, his wife Anne and his children remain comparatively silent presences in the archive. This symposium brings together generations of editors of Sancho’s letters, with creative and critical practitioners, to explore how Ignatius, Anne, and Elizabeth Sancho come to us today.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
