On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In New Sincerity: American Fiction in the Neoliberal Age (Stanford University Press, 2024), Adam Kelly offers a field- defining account of American fiction in the 1990s and 2000s, addressing the work of influential authors including Susan Choi, Helen DeWitt, Jennifer Egan, George Saunders, Colson Whitehead, and David Foster Wallace. This seminar will involve reading pre-circulated copies of the introduction and conclusion to the book, and a discussion with the author.
