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.
The yakuza are one of the most visible criminal organisations in the world, yet one of the least studied. This talk will explore the difficulties (and advantages) of researching Japanese criminal syndicates, from desk-based research to interviews with elite participants, with particular attention for the role of the female researcher in doing fieldwork with organised crime. Finally a summary of the data collected in the field will be presented.
