OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Can the Conquistadors be Decolonized?
Conquerors control narratives. We know this well, and yet in the case of the Spanish Conquest—as it is traditionally called—we have for five centuries accepted without question the narrative that they created. Why have we done that? What was their narrative? What really happened in those much-fabled years? And how can we uncover an Indigenous history of the Spanish invasions of the Americas?
