A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Nature as Neighbour: Past Entanglements & Present Challenges
This seminar brings together emerging scholars of historical ecologies, placing them in conversation to reflect on the relationship humanity has and had with the natural world. By tracing how human–environment relations have been imagined, governed, and lived in the past, the seminar foregrounds nature not as a distant backdrop but as a proximate and entangled neighbour. Responding to one another and in dialogue with attendees, this seminar will workshop how historical perspectives can inform present-day responses to the climate and natural world, offering critical insights into environmental-stewardship, -responsibility, -coexistence, and environmentally-just futures.
The seminar will be followed by a reception.
This event is open to everyone, but registration is required to attend.
