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
Megan Walsh, author of The Subplot: What China Is Reading and Why It Matters, will discuss why it’s important to finally pay attention to Chinese fiction – an exuberant drama illustrating the complex relationship between art and politics, offering an alternative way to understand the inherent contradictions that make up China itself.
