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
Centre for the History of Childhood Seminars and Events
The Centre for the History of Childhood aims to promote the study of children, youth and childhood in the past through supporting research within and beyond Oxford, fostering a community of researchers and sharing new research through public engagement activity.
Seminars are works-in-progress, designed to offer a space to researchers working on childhood-related themes to share ideas and to get feedback on new work.
All welcome – and to join us for lunch afterwards.
Seminars take place in the Sophia Sheppard Room, Magdalen College, and online via Microsoft Teams, unless otherwise stated.
