OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Reimagine Resilience: Storytelling as a Portal to Prevention
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.
