OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Sovereignty and its Discontents (SAID) Workshop
Sovereignty and its Discontents (SAID) is a DPhil-run, historically motivated workshop that critically analyses multiple conceptions of sovereignty, authority, and power in International Relations and Politics. We welcome students and faculty from all departments and centres to join and critically learn together!
We’ll meet on Thursdays of Week 1, 3, 5 and 7 from 4 to 6 PM to read and discuss each other’s work in progress. Workshop papers may be drafts of transfer/confirmation material, thesis chapters, journal articles, book chapters, and thesis proposals. Papers may be anywhere between 5000-10000 words in length. Attendants are expected to read the materials in advance.
