Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Meleisa Ono-George is writing a public-facing book entitled My Name is Amelia Newsham: Science, Art and the Making of Race. To do so, she uses the sparse source material of an enslaved woman’s life to weave an intimate and nuanced history of race in eighteenth-century Britain.
*Alice Rio_ is writing a general narrative history of early medieval Europe told via the experiences of a handful of migrant women, or women who were in one way or another bearers of a minority culture within their household. Her main methodological problem is dearth of sources about (and near-absence of sources written by) women for this period, and how not to end up just talking about men instead. She wants to argue this problem also presents unexpected opportunities.
