OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March.

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 desire to supply good tales to my school children”: Charlotte Yonge's lifelong involvement in parochial education
(This is a joint event with the Modern History Seminar)
It is not easy to categorise Charlotte Yonge’s significance. Known mainly for her best-selling novel, The Heir of Redclyffe (1853), and as a peripheral member of the Oxford Movement, there is a tendency by mainstream literary and historical scholars to overlook the variety of her achievements. Least studied has been her commitment to the expansion of parochial education both locally and nationally, taking forward the battle to defend the voluntary schools of the Church of England after the 1870 Education Act.
