OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Her research has addressed the history of education, women’s history, social and cultural history, history of science and eugenics, history of museums and exploration in Latin America. She has published extensively on the history of the region, including her book The sociable sciences: Darwin and his contemporaries in Chile. Springer, 2013. Her current research, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, examines the 1853 Manual de urbanidad y buenas maneras by Manuel Antonio Carreño, which is likely the longest selling and most re-published book in Spanish.
