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
FLJS Films opens its 2019-20 programme with acclaimed director Mike Leigh’s latest film Peterloo, which brings to light the cover-up of the state killing of protestors in Manchester 200 years ago.
On the bicentenary of the massacre, and with the current resurgence of popular demonstrations and civil disobedience over Brexit and the climate crisis, the film offers an invaluable reminder of the power of political resistance.
Historian of protest Dr Katrina Navickas will give a short introductory talk on her involvement in the historical research for Peterloo and the film’s political and contemporary resonances.
Praise for Peterloo
“A full-bore assault on the amnesia of British establishment history”
