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
One of the distinctive features of modern historical studies at the University of Oxford is its use of methodologies that employ broad perspectives and frameworks of the global dynamism of people and states. Such endeavors have resulted in new understandings in the field of East Asian history, revealing its transnational connections beyond the region as well as historical continuities with the pre-modern period. This half-day workshop will discuss how new images and understandings of history, politics, and culture can be achieved, showcasing several studies on transnationalism in East Asia. The presenters are scholars of Chinese and Japanese studies of modern history who research the transnational movements of people. These scholars all actively engage in discussions of the dynamic transnationalism within and beyond East Asia that they connect with the rest of the world.
The workshop will be hybrid style with active in-person and online discussions. Everyone who is interested in this topic is welcome to participate in the discussions on transnationalism. Each presentation will be twenty minutes, followed by a general discussion.
