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
Prof Sabic-El-Rayess was awarded a 2021 Finalist Medal for Excellence in Young Adult Nonfiction by the American Library Association and Best Book recognition by School Library Journal, Malala Fund, Capitol Choices, and Children’s Center for Literature for her memoir, The Cat I Never Named — a defining text on resilience to hate and empowerment through education. Dr. Sabic-El-Rayess released her second nonfiction contribution, Three Summers to critical acclaim. Three Summers is a story of resilience, belonging, and sisterhood in the three years leading up to the Bosnian Genocide. In this session, Dr. Sabic-El-Rayess will spotlight the power of storytelling in nurturing interfaith solidarity and belonging and offer insights on why she chooses – among her scholarly, research, and pedagogical endeavors – to continue writing stories as a way to sustainably build resilience to hate.
