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
Linking multiscalar contestations over place in Peterborough, Brighton and Yiddishland
This presentation takes off from where my last book, Stories from a Migrant City (MUP, 2020), based on ten years of research in Brexit-era Peterborough, ended: multiscalar contestations over the place between resurgent racial nationalism and a non-elite cosmopolitanism. The story now moves to Brighton and Hove, a much-desired, if often unaffordable, coastal city, where progressive politics and a liberal self-image rub up against the legacies of British colonialism. Among the latter, contestations over Zionism, Israel and Palestine will be explored, first within Brighton and Hove and then through virtual and actual travels beyond the city to the non-territorial place known as Yiddishland.
