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

Her more recent work has been about processes of pacification of colonial rebellions and of nineteenth century civil wars. She is professor at Universidad de los Andes and member of the CEHIS (Centro de Estudios en Historia), at Universidad Externado de Colombia, Bogotá.
