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
This presentation will explore the violent events of May 2021 as experienced by Palestinian Arab Israeli (PAI) undergraduate students on Israeli campuses. Using interviews with students, academics and members of civil society organisations, this research uncovers a host of emotional, social and political processes that arose due to the violence witnessed by the students. These processes led PAI students to withdraw from their campuses and mobilise within their communities to address needs unmet by official authorities, including universities. The presentation will also reflect on the relevance of the findings in light of the current war, as well as on the challenges of writing about the Israeli higher education context in this climate.
