OxTalks is Changing

OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Iberian History Reading Group

Established in January 2018, the Reading Group on Iberian History (Medieval & Early Modern) aims to be a space where people from all over Oxford who have an interest in the history of Iberia and the global empires of Spain and Portugal can meet and have lively discussions of primary and secondary sources in an informal setting. Attendance is free and open to all: meetings have enjoyed a lot from the contribution of students and scholars working on Iberian medieval or modern history, as well as literature or history of art, who have provided the group with an interdisciplinary approach that has also formed the basis of a one-day graduate workshop which has usually been organised in June.
