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
Oxonian Review Seminar with Tom Crewe
Join the Oxonian Review for a conversation with the critic, editor and writer Tom Crewe. Crewe has been an editor at the London Review of Books since 2015, and his debut novel, The New Life (January 2023), was one of 2023’s most anticipated debuts. It fictionalises the lives of John Addington Symonds and Henry Havelock Ellis as they collaborate on a study of so-called ‘sexual inverts’ in 1890s London. He has recently been named as one of Granta’s influential ‘Best of Young British Novelists’ lists; previous iterations of the list have featured writers like William Boyd, Kazuo Ishiguro and Julian Barnes. Tom has contributed essays to the LRB on topics ranging from Ivan Turgenev to the Labour party to the similarities between Charles II and Margaret Oliphant. Prior to joining the LRB he completed a PhD in nineteenth-century history at the University of Cambridge.
