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
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?’.
