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
Race and Resistance Programme event.
Aftermath is a non-fiction lament against the racist harms of the school to prison pipeline, and corresponding white saviour fantasy of education-as-redemption in the UK. The book interrogates the language of terror, trauma and grief; the fictions we believe and the voices we exclude. Following the terror attack at Fishmonger’s Hall in November 2019, Taneja contends with the pain of unspeakable loss set against public tragedy, and draws on history, memory, and powerful poetic predecessors to reckon with the systemic nature of atrocity. Blurring genre and form, Aftermath is an attempt to regain trust after violence and to recapture a politics of hope through a determined dream of abolition. It won the Gordon Burn Prize 2022.
