OxTalks is Changing
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
Murder in Madras: Intimacy, Domesticity, and Violence in a Colonial Archive
Online talk by Dr Sneha Krishnan as part of Meeting Minds Global. In 1919, Clement de la Hey, principal of Newington College in Madras was shot dead whilst he slept, allegedly by one of his students. The case that ensued was unusual: for one, the alleged murderer was acquitted. At the height of racial tensions in late colonial India, this was extraordinary. For another, the case was shrouded in many layers of gossip, and rumour. What about this murder made it into a story that continued to resonate, and still remains, in some ways poignant as a paradigmatic tale of the violent intimacies of coloniality?
