Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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!
