OxTalks is Changing
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
Reading group and introductions
We will be launching our seminar series with a reading group. Our theme will be the categories of age and childhood in historical analysis. We invite you to consider the following article, and, as a springboard for introductory discussions, to consider its usefulness or otherwise for your own research:
Gill Valentine, ‘Boundary Crossings: Transitions from Childhood to Adulthood’, Children’s Geographies, 1(1) (2003), pp. 37-52.
Participants may also like to look at:
Clementine Beauvais, ‘Ages and ages: the multiplication of children’s ‘ages’ in early twentieth-century child psychology’, History of Education, 45 (3) (2016), pp. 304-318.
