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
LGBTQ+ History Month Series - Queer Jews, Homophobia, and the Holocaust
To finish off our series, we are co-hosting a talk held by Anna Hájková with the German and Austrian Societies of Oxford. Anna is a Czech historian and member of the history faculty at the University of Warwick. She specialises in the study of everyday life in 20th century Central and Eastern Europe, both during the state of exception and after, with a special focus on (the erasure of) stories related to sexuality. Her first book, The Last Ghetto: An Everyday History of Theresienstadt, just came out last month and focuses on everyday life in the Terezin transit ghetto. It was awarded the Irma Rosenberg and Herbert Steiner Prizes.
The 30-min talk will be followed by a Q&A session, please feel free to send some in via this google form: forms.gle/GaFtBr1hqWt77LBy9
We will livestream the event to facebook, but you can also join the zoom call here:
