OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). 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.

Song of Praise for a Flower: One Woman’s Journey through China’s Tumultuous 20th Century
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.
