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 event has been organised by the Oxford Law Black Alumni Network (OLBA Network) in partnership with the Faculty to mark Stephen Lawrence Day 2022 (April 22).
Stephen was a black teenager who was murdered by a group of white youths on April 22, 1993, aged 18, in an unprovoked racist attack. After the initial police investigation, five suspects were arrested but not convicted. A public inquiry into the handling of Stephen’s case was held in 1998, leading to the publication of the Macpherson Report, which has been called ‘one of the most important moments in the modern history of criminal justice in Britain’. It led to profound cultural changes in attitudes to racism, the law and to police practice. It also paved the way for a greater understanding of discrimination of all forms and new equalities legislation.
We have a stellar panel joining us to discuss the theme of Institutional Racism in the UK’s Policing System, drawing on their work in this field. Please join us online. There will then be an opportunity for discussion and Q&A at the end.
