OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Join us for an evening with Jade Bentil, Black feminist and writer, as she explores the rich and complex histories of Black women who migrated to Britain in the second half of the twentieth century.
In her talk, ‘Cartographies of Desire: Mapping Black Women’s Self-Making in Twentieth-Century Britain’, Jade will discuss her ongoing oral history project, which examines how these women navigated the intersecting forces of race, gender, sexuality, class, and empire—while building lives filled with friendship, romance, and joy.
This event promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of memory, identity, and belonging, offering new insights into Black British women’s lived experiences.
Everyone is welcome. No need to register, just turn up!
