On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The overall purpose of this conference is to engage historians in a dialogue with materials scientists in order to better characterize the hybrid life of materials as natural entities and social or economic agents. The biographical metaphor emphasizes the singularity of various materials and additionally favours narratives of the entanglements of environmental cycles (depletion of natural resources, pollution) with human societies and economies.
Co-organised by the Maison Française d’Oxford and the SHAC
