The Oxford Dodo: Culture at the Crossroads
Loading Video...
Why does the dodo continue to haunt our imagination? Why is it the poster bird for extinction? How has it been represented across time and culture? An interdisciplinary panel explored the life and legacy of the dodo at an event in collaboration between TORCH and the Museum of Natural History. The event was part of Being Human 2015, the UK's national festival of the humanities.

The University of Oxford is home to an impressive range and depth of research activities in the Humanities. TORCH | The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities is a major new initiative that seeks to build on this heritage and to stimulate and support research that transcends disciplinary and institutional boundaries. Here we feature some of the networks and programmes, as well as recordings of events, and offer insights into the research that they make possible.
