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
A secret manuscript. Cryptic directions to an ancestral home. An unexpected family reunion. And the awe-inspiring true story of a Chinese woman who bucked the status quo in male-dominated 20th Century China, defying foot binding, arranged marriage, and opposition to the education of women. For decades, this personal memoir lay hidden in a bank vault until a long-lost cousin (Charlene Chu) from America inspired 94-year-old Chinese author Fengxian Chu to unearth it. It is a window into a faraway world, a sweeping epic about China’s tumultuous transformation and a harrowing yet ultimately uplifting story of a woman who survives it all and finally finds peace and tranquility.
