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
Book Launch: Young America: The Transformation of Nationalism before the Civil War
In conversation with Susan-Mary Grant (Newcastle University), RAI Junior Research Fellow Mark Power Smith will discuss his new book, Young America.
Young America explores how political ideas underpinned Americans’ sense of national belonging in the period before the Civil War. It focuses on the Young America movement: a faction within the Democratic Party which sought to challenge the global hegemony of European powers through the territorial expansion and intellectual development of the United States, but ultimately destabilized American politics before the Civil War.
