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
This term we focus on the timely subject of imperialism and anti-imperialism. Our starting point will be the trial in Meerut, India, of thirty-four trade union leaders in March 1929. The trial revealed the existence of an extensive Communist anti-imperialist labour network within British India, which was connected to Communist groups across Europe. The Trial became a significant point of domestic agitation among British Communists, who organised a defence fund and used the Trial as part of their Third Period attack on the social democrats of the British Labour Party, then in government. We will explore the nature of this specific network and anti-imperialist networks more generally.
Lunch will be provided.
