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 Faculty of History is pleased to announce The James Ford Special Lecture: Racial capitalism across the black/white Atlantic by Catherine Hall (UCL)
This lecture will focus on the system of racial capitalism that operated across the C18 Atlantic. Utilising the life and writings of Edward Long, C18 historian of Jamaica, it will explore the ways in which white colonists attempted to make race – to establish fixed divisions between black and white people on the basis of nature. Since such divisions were not natural it required constant vigilance at every level – economic, political and cultural – to maintain these binaries which were always in danger of slippage. Slavery, as Equiano said, was a state of war.”
Drinks will be served after the lecture.
This lecture is open to members of the university and the public.
It is free to attend but must be registered for in advance as seating is strictly limited. Please register early as we anticipate that places will run out quickly.
