On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

“Racialised experiences, practices of coloniality, and joint struggles: Black-Palestinian Transnational Solidarity Networks”
Maha Al-Haddad is a PhD candidate at the Centre of Development Studies at the University of Cambridge, where she has also earned her MPhil degree. Her research examines Black- American and Palestinian solidarity networks as they develop and strengthen within the contemporary day, focusing on the commonalities and joint struggles that emerge from shared experiences of racialised violence and which underpin renewed solidarity efforts. Her research also examines the role digital activism has on solidarity networks and the way digital spatialities affect the formation and manifestation of these solidarities.
