OxTalks is Changing
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
MEC & OSGA present - Women, Protests, Revolutions: Iran Uprising after Five Months.
Close to five months have passed since the death of Mahsa (Zhina) Amini in police custody sparked nation-wide protests in Iran. The women-led uprising has taken many twists and turns since. Although streets have been quieter in the past few weeks, the movement’s reverberations continue strong. This panel assesses the Woman, Life, Freedom movement five months after it started, by asking questions about the nature of the hijab law and its perceptions, the ties between women’s rights movements and democratisation, and the conception of revolution in the minds of protestors and its ramification in the real world.
Moderator: Maryam Alemzadeh, St.Antony’s College
This workshop is jointly sponsored by the Middle East Centre, St.Antony’s College and Oxford School of Global and Area Studies
