OxTalks is Changing
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 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.
