OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The James Ford Special Lecture: Racial capitalism across the black/white Atlantic
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.
