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
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.
