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.
This paper queries the ways in which abolitionist policies around the world were implemented roughly between the mid-1820s and late 1860s, focusing on how they often supported imperialist endeavors. Expanding well-beyond the Atlantic, it hopes to reveal how transnational Abolitionism often served expansionist agendas, and acted as a back-door for new forms of labour exploitation. The paper also compares how Abolitionism was used as a shield by politicians, officers, missionaries, and others, while engaging in questionable imperialist practices around the world.
