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 1888 Cecil Rhodes gave £10,000 to Charles Stewart Parnell’s Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP). But why would the young and ambitious Rhodes seek the support of the then notorious Parnell at the very moment Parnell was under public suspicion concerning the horrific Phoenix Park murders? And why would an Irish nationalist do business with the most notorious British imperialist of the age?
Using a number of newly discovered sources, this talk will shed fresh light on a highly significant, yet understudied episode in British imperial history, and pose questions about the relationship between Irish nationalism and British imperialism.
Doors open at 5.15pm when guests will enjoy access to Museum galleries and a bar serving wine and soft drinks.
The talk will start at 6pm and will be followed by Q&As.
This is a hybrid event which will also be broadcast online. Tickets for online attendance can be purchased here:
