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.
We are pleased to announce a double book launch event, to celebrate the publication of two books by distinguished and long-serving historians of science and chemistry. Thomas Garnett: Science, Medicine, Mobility in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Bloomsbury) by Robert Fox (Emeritus Professor of History of Science, Oxford) was published in February 2024. Carbon: A Biography (Polity), the English translation of Carbone. Ses vies, ses oeuvres (2018, Ed. Seuil) by Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent (Emeritus Professor Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Sacha Loeve (Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3) will be published in June 2024.
This event immediately follows the first meeting of the Oxford Seminar in the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (15:00-17:00 Maison Française d’Oxford), where Bernadette will be delivering a paper entitled ‘Why a Biography of Carbon?’.
