OxTalks is Changing
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.
Global Gandhi
Many consider Mohandas Gandhi and his theory of nonviolence as the key to building a less oppressive world. Many others dismiss his theory as naïve and ill-suited to confronting the challenges that beset contemporary societies. Others, yet, as the “Gandhi Must Fall” movement shows, oppose Gandhi as a racist theorist whose political methods must be criticized and eventually abandoned. In view of these controversies, what can Gandhi still tell us today?
In this roundtable, Shruti Kapila (Cambridge), Karuna Mantena (Columbia), and Eraldo Souza dos Santos (Sorbonne) will discuss the global reception of Gandhi’s ideas and current debates around his political thought. Faisal Devji (Oxford) will moderate the discussion.
Please note that the event will take place at the Maison Française d’Oxford and be livestreamed on Zoom.
