OxTalks is Changing
During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).

Shut Up and Write (or Translate)!
Please not that this week we will be in Seminar Room 7, as opposed to our usual Seminar Room 10.
Need a burst of focused time to get words flowing on the page? Join OCCT for our new series of Shut Up and Write (or Translate) sessions this term. These dedicated afternoons are a chance to step away from distractions, sit alongside fellow writers and translators, and make real progress on whatever project matters most to you.
We’ll gather from 2–5pm on three Mondays this term in a supportive, low-pressure environment designed to boost productivity and creativity alike. Bring along your laptop, notebooks, or translation drafts – anything you’d like to work on. After a quick check-in, we’ll dive into quiet writing or translating sprints, with breaks for coffee (which will be supplied) and conversation in between.
Whether you’re polishing a chapter, drafting an article, working on a translation, or simply hoping to carve out space for your own work, these sessions are for you. Come for one, two, or all three afternoons, and leave with words on the page and renewed momentum for your projects.
