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 workshop series, hosted jointly by the Oxford English Faculty and TORCH, brings a number of contemporary British writers (including Bernardine Evaristo, Aminatta Forna and Daljit Nagra) into conversation with readers to discuss how literature shapes our perceptions of the world today and our identities within it. In the first half of each workshop, readers will be able to offer responses to their experiences of reading the book of the week; in the second, the author will give a reading and engage in conversation with the audience. Note: these sessions will be recorded for podcasting.
The series runs in place of the University of Oxford English Faculty’s Postcolonial Writing and Theory seminar in Trinity Term 2017. All are welcome, but places are limited. For details of each event and to reserve your place, visit www.writersmakeworlds.com/workshops
