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
Public Security Informants in the Early People’s Republic of China
The talk describes and analyses in its historical context how the recruitment and running of informants was managed by China’s state security organs prior to the beginning of the so-called reform era. The presentation is largely based on original grassroots operational records and, using the city of Harbin as a case, seeks to illustrate dimensions of urban social control previously neglected by political scientists and historians.
