OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Women and Genocide
The Genocide Convention, created in the post-Holocaust world, was designed to protect against future acts of genocide and to punish perpetrators. History shows that, along with the sociological theory of genocide which underpins it, the Genocide Convention was drafted predominantly by men. Through a feminist-inspired analytical lens, we can ask: what does this mean for the norms and standards reflected in the document, and the acts of genocide it outlaws?
By drawing on archival materials and contemporaneous trial transcripts, this talk will explore whether original genocide theory and law coherently reflect the gendered harms experienced women during genocides, and the approach of the drafters to these harms. It will ask how men understood the vulnerabilities of women to acts of genocide, whether this is influenced by the position of women in the post-World War Two society, and whether this continues to influence current conceptualisations of gender and genocide.
