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
Chemical weapons are one of the most well-known weapons of the First World War, immortalised in the poetry of the time and many publications. But, to date, little has been said about the complexities of how this weapon was fought with the creation of the respirator and the role that chemists played. Nor has it fully explored the limitations of this process and the tactical implications of the respirator. The details, successes and limitations of this risky, experimental and innovative process will be shared with you as part of this paper.
