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 two-term seminar series centres around the public role of those studying the past. Scholars with a public profile discuss ‘public history’ not as something separate but as an integral part of their activities as researchers. Art historians, historians, literature scholars who, amongst others, have published with popular presses, made documentaries, or are involved in museums will share their expertise. Combining research questions with practical thinking about communication, these sessions will allow reflections on how research translates into wider conversations.
