OxTalks is Changing
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
Pedagogy Forum: Creative-Critical Pedagogy
‘You can dance, sing, mime, show pictures, play sounds etc etc … but you can’t speak or play or display words.’
What happened when the six students on the MSt C-Course “Silences: Henry James to Now” in Hilary Term 2024 were challenged to give their class presentations using any means of communication except words? Magnificently, they rose to the challenge, producing films, soundtracks, a computer game, tarot cards and an unclassifiable ten minutes involving eggshells, litter gathered from Port Meadow and calligraphy ink standing in for DDT. Their work opens up new ways of thinking about texts, new ways of communicating about texts, new ways of engaging in textual criticism and new ways of being in the classroom. This seminar showcases their creations.
