OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Jonathan Chatwin’s book, The Southern Tour: Deng Xiaoping and the Fight for China’s Future, explores Deng Xiaoping’s 1992 Southern Tour and the mythology around it. Drawing on archival sources, contemporary reportage, and Dr Chatwin’s own retracing of the journey in 2019, it offers a narrative history of this pivotal political moment ‒ and reflects more broadly on the tension between ideological control and market liberalisation in the post-Mao era.
