OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Living with Kafka’s Asbestos Factory: Sights, Sounds and Textures
This talk is also available online (Microsoft Teams).
Please email kafka@mod-langs.ox.ac.uk as soon as possible if you have mobility / access needs.
In this talk, Arthur Rose (Exeter University) will revisit earlier work on the reception of Franz Kafka’s part ownership of an asbestos factory to think about the sights, sounds and textures that Kafka’s biography and works conjure up. This hybrid event is organised by the AHRC-funded project Kafka’s Transformative Communities and all are welcome.
