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.
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.
