OxTalks is Changing
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
The Foundation for Law, Justice and Society Films presents: Peterloo
In association with the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, University of Oxford
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”
