OxTalks is Changing
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
The Politics of Remembering the History of Race and the University
This panel event is a reflection by four speakers on their own experiences of writing, researching and teaching the subject of race in universities, including at Oxford, while also drawing on knowledge and experience from a range of institutions. Bringing together a distinguished panel of activists, academics and historians in the community, our speakers will reflect on the challenges and opportunities involved in grappling with institutional histories, and what is at stake.
The event will include a performance by the Unlock the Chains Collective’s Euton Daley and Amantha Edmead.
Tickets are available for in person attendance.
This event will also be live-streamed on the TORCH YouTube page: youtu.be/Ni-1L1Va9VY
