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.
Throughout the 1880s lynching in the American South attracted little condemnation by the national newspapers or political elites. In 1891 a New Orleans mob lynched eleven Italian nationals, many of them Italian citizens, and set into motion the internationalization of American lynching as a social and political problem. We trace how this event, and other similar events, spread anti-lynching politics to Italy and Great Britain, and thus eventually contributed to domestic political opposition to lynching. We conclude with discussion of a theory on how repression backfire emerges based on the spread of repression to members of less marginalized social categories.
