Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
As the world focuses on Ukraine’s offensive against Russia, as well as Israel’s struggle with Hamas and Hezbollah, the temptation is to believe that other crises have meanwhile eased. However, many additional people around the world also suffer from devastating conflicts. In Sudan, ongoing war between the army and paramilitary forces has shattered the country, killing some 20,000 and displacing over 10 million. In Venezuela, the suppression of human rights, rampant corruption, and economic collapse have displaced 7.7 million. And in Myanmar, where the Rohingya have faced decades of systemic persecution and targeted violence, a 2021 military coup inflicted widespread suffering, displacing 3.3 million. To name a few. How can the international community bring meaningful attention to these seemingly overlooked crises without merely substituting them for others now commanding our attention?
Open to all. Registration is required for this online lecture.
This event is co-sponsored by the Free Speech Project (Georgetown University) and the Future of the Humanities Project (Georgetown University and Blackfriars Hall and Campion Hall, Oxford).
