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
Medieval History Research Seminar
The seminar will continue in a hybrid format, with a physical meeting in the Wharton Room, All Souls College, unless otherwise stated, together with simultaneous interactive access via Microsoft Teams. If any seminars need to move online, details will be announced in advance. There will be no need to reserve a seat in advance to attend in person.
The Teams session can be accessed by logging into Teams with your Oxford (.ox.ac.uk) account and joining the group “Medieval History Research Seminar” (team code rmppucs).
