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
A joint conference hosted by the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh on intellectual history from an institutional perspective.
Recent work in early modern intellectual history has highlighted the role of institutions and corporations in the shaping of early modern thought. This conference will highlight new research which explores how establishments such as schools, universities, societies, museums, or any other kind of corporation shaped the work of the individuals living and working within their environs. Our aim is to promote discussions in intellectual history which consider the concrete political, religious, social, and cultural environments within which individuals were grounded. What can we learn from situating an individual and their body of work according to the formal and informal structures of their institutional home?
