OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
