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 colloquium explores how children and childhood have responded to – and negotiated – borders. What roles did children play in making people, ideas, and practices mobile? In what contexts were certain ideas of childhood given power across space so as to construct new national and international concepts of childhood? To what extent did the young communicate across divides? How did children live with the borders formed by states, communities and families? In this one-day colloquium, we will explore these questions by focusing on children’s experiences and perspectives, ranging across the globe and over the last 800 years.
As part of the day, we are delighted to especially welcome Bart van Es and Lien de Jong to talk about the award-winning book, The Cut Out Girl: a story of War and Family (2018).
