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 first week in March marks the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike, when 170,000 miners, backed by their families and supporters across the UK and abroad, fought to defend their pits, their jobs and their communities. The defeat of the miners shattered the labour movement in the UK and devastated mining communities, although there are also amazing stories of miners and their wives reinventing themselves, beginning new careers, and endeavouring to repair their communities.
