Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
English Faculty Pedagogy Forum
Please join us for a new twice-termly forum for discussing some of the the questions arising from the teaching of English in Oxford at the present moment. There will be short readings for each meeting, which will relate both to large pedagogical questions (political, ethical, conceptual) and to the practical minutiae and mechanisms of our teaching. We hope that this will be a forum to learn from one another, and share ideas and strategies, enthusiasms and frustrations, of all kinds.
Anyone currently teaching (or soon about to teach) Oxford English undergraduates is welcome. Details of times, location and readings below. If you have difficulty locating the readings please email joseph.moshenska@ell.ox.ac.uk.
Readings: bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress, ch.1: “Engaged Pedagogy” (pp.13-22); Jacques Rancière, The Ignorant Schoolmaster, ch1: “An Intellectual Adventure” (pp.1-18).
