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
From the first day of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has defended itself against Russian aggression not only through military action, but also through a hard-to-beat level of civic activity. Based on both long-standing experience of compensating state tasks in defence and humanitarian aid since the first Russian invasion in 2014 and on a high level of social ownership and civic responsibility, Ukrainian volunteerism forms a strong force in Ukraine’s resistance and resilience. In this talk, I will portray recent development directions of how Ukrainian civil society keeps state and society running amidst a full-scale war, and I will analyse the roots of Ukrainian civic resilience. Furthermore, I will also portray the resistance movement in the occupied territories as a particular civic contribution to upholding Ukrainian perseverance
