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.
Over the course of the twentieth century, medical schools became bureaucratically-complex, research-oriented institutions with demanding admission requirements and accredited curricula that favoured, explicitly or implicitly, applicants who identified socially as male, white, Protestant, English-speaking, and straight. This developing research project examines how new regulatory procedures and educational ideals, perpetuated by a network of influential actors in organised medicine, encouraged exclusion and/or assimilation of medical students who did not possess this particular cluster of social identifiers.
Susan Lamb is the Jason A Hannah Chair in History of Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Based in the Faculty of Medicine and cross-appointed to History, Dr Lamb’s current research examines developments in Anglo-American medical education in the twentieth century, particularly around who can and cannot become a physician, why, and who says so. They are co-editor of a new volume of histories of medical education (Transforming Medical Education: Historical Case Studies of Teaching, Learning, and Belonging) and author of Pathologist of the Mind: Adolf Meyer and the Origins of American Psychiatry (2014).
