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
VIIth Francois-Xavier Guerra Seminar: 'Fair-Weather Friends: Indigenous Militias, Rural Rebels and Revolutionary Governments in Mexico, 1850-1950'
Nathaniel Morris is a historian of modern Mexico, specialising in indigenous-state relations, autonomist movements and the drug trade. He is a Leverhulme Research Fellow at University College London, where he is working on indigenous vigilante groups in rural Mexico, and the ties of culture, identity and memory that link their modern incarnations (autodefensas and policías comunitarias) with their revolutionary-era predecessors, the so-called defensas sociales. He holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford, and his first book, entitled Soldiers, Saints and Shamans: Indian Communities and the Revolutionary State in Mexico’s Gran Nayar, 1910-1940, is currently under review with an academic press in the US.
