Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
What is the relationship between postcolonial theory and history? How does the climate crisis inform our understanding of postcolonial experiences? Join us for an introduction to key areas of debate in postcolonial theory; the benefits and shortcomings of this field, the differences between decolonising and post-colonial history and, crucially, the relationship between postcolonialism and climate change.
