OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Graduate Seminar in History 1680-1850
The seminar will meet weekly, except for 5th Week, on Tuesdays at 16:15. For those who wish to attend in person, our regular venue will be the Beckington Room, Lincoln College (ask at the college lodge for directions), unless otherwise specified.
Tea and coffee will be available from 16:00.
For those who cannot make it to Oxford, these sessions will be available on Microsoft Teams; contact mailto:perry.gauci@lincoln.ox.ac.uk for the online link.
All research students working in this period are encouraged to attend; anyone else interested is very welcome.
