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
Description of Talk:
‘Divided: Why we are living in an Age of Walls. Barriers are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and walls have been erected in the past ten years, and they are redefining our political landscape.
In Europe the ruptures of the past decade threaten European unity. In the USA the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps into the fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority country in the course of this century.
Understanding what has divided us, past and present, is essential to understanding much of what’s going on in the world today.’
