On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Fabricating Homeland Security: Police Entanglements across India and Palestine/Israel (Stanford University Press, 2024) traces the political fallout of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, often known as “India’s 9/11” or simply “26/11”, concentrating on the efforts of Israel’s homeland security to advise and equip Indian city and state governments. Drawing on more than a decade of multi-sited ethnographic and archival research, it situates homeland security as a universalizing project, which seeks to remake the world in its image. The book tells the story of how claims to global authority are fabricated and worked out on the ground.
Event will feature comments from Naji Safadi (Oxford) and Sameer Bhat (Oxford).
