On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for a conversation with internationally acclaimed author Sayaka Murata, who will share some of her life experiences and influences, and explore vital questions and challenges regarding her writing and storytelling practices. We will address the idea of transformation throughout her work and the need to question what we consider “normal.”
Pre-registration needed. In person-only. No recording available.
