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
In recent years, the field of studies on French memories of colonialism, and particularly the Algerian War, has been profoundly renewed. A new investigative paradigm has been put forward, increasingly attentive to focusing on how memory works rather than what it is.
The seminar will be a privileged opportunity to discuss this turning point with two scholars who have profoundly innovated the field: cultural historian Itay Lotem (Westminster) and political scientist Paul Max Morin (Sciences Po Paris).
Morin is the author of Les jeunes et la guerre d’Algérie (PUF 2022) while Lotem is the author of The Memory of Colonialism in Britain and France: The Sins of Silence (Palgrave 2021).
