OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Broadcasting Apartheid: British Television and the Anti-Apartheid Campaign, 1950–1990
In postwar Britain, the rise of television as a new technology and cultural form transformed the political landscape, redefining the sites and styles of political communication and creating spaces for viewer participation. Grassroots organizations, like the British Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), leveraged television’s potential to foster new forms of presentation, perception, and civic participation.
In this event, Tal Zalmanovich will discuss her monograph, Broadcasting Apartheid: British Television and the Anti-Apartheid Campaign, 1950–1990, with Saul Dubow and Suzanne Franks, and Lucy McCann will describe how the AAM archive came into being.
