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
This one and a half-day interdisciplinary workshop invites DPhils and ECRs at the University of Oxford working under the umbrella of medical humanities to share their research in a supportive environment. Those who work on topics concerning health, medicine, and disease from literature, anthropology, history, philosophy, politics, and other humanities and social sciences perspectives are invited to submit abstracts. Discussion will focus on the ways in which life and death are evidenced, understood, and represented in both academic and clinical contexts.
The workshop will include a keynote lecture by Nükhet Varlık, Associate Professor of History at Rutgers University: The Precarious City: New Regimes of Death and Disease in Early Modern Istanbul (open to all, regardless of participation in the workshop).
The Call for Papers closes 15 May: www.torch.ox.ac.uk/event/evidencing-life-and-death-in-the-medical-humanities.
