OxTalks is Changing
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.
‘Life-writing and the far south: rhythm, disruption, and sensory extremes’ (Laura Marcus Life-Writing Workshop)
In their co-edited Life Writing and the Southern Hemisphere (2024), and other work since, Elleke Boehmer and Katherine Collins consider the challenges of life-writing in the face of environmental and technological instability. In this workshop we will discuss how different rhythms, temporalities, and forms of unpredictability shape the ways lives are written and imagined in the icy environments of Antarctica, a setting of faltering communication, volatile weather, disrupted circadian cycles, and extreme sensory experience.
