OxTalks is Changing
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
Voltaire and the Newtonian Revolution Conference
This event will be a one-day conference on the 28th February 2015 at St Cross College, Oxford on Voltaire and how he was influenced by Newtonian science. In the promotion of the Newtonian theory he was aided in large part by his long-time companion and leading woman scientist of her era, the Marquise Émilie du Châtelet, herself at the forefront of the mathematics of the era and the translator of Newton’s Principia into French. This conference explores Voltaire’s and du Châtelet’s roles in the promotion of Newtonian theory as well as their activities in the physics of their era.
Registration and attendance at the conference are FREE .
