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
Making Sense of the Civil War in Sudan: A Discussion w/ Matthew Sterling Benson
Organized by Oxford University International Relations Society, this event is open to all members of the University. YOU MUST REGISTER BEFOREHAND IN ORDER TO ATTEND THIS EVENT.
Join Oxford University International Relations Society and Dr Matthew Sterling Benson (LSE) for a discussion on the impact of British-led colonialism on the two Sudans. Dr Benson is a social and economic historian of Africa in the Conflict & Civicness Research Group (CCRG) at the London School of Economics and Political Science researching changing global conflict and peace dynamics. He is a Research Fellow within the CCRG and the Sudans Research Director, leading research in both Sudans. Dr Benson’s research and publications examine how revenue raising practices in Sudan and South Sudan from the start of British-led colonial occupation, into rebel-rule, through to the present contributed to states that work better for a minority in power rather than most people in either country. Additionally, Dr Benson is the Editorial Director for Boy Brother Friend, a print publication and digital platform examining the Black Atlantic and other diasporas through contemporary art, fashion, and theory.
