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
2022 marks the centenary of the conclusion of the Greek-Turkish War in Asia Minor. The conclusion of the conflict and the subsequent Lausanne Peace Treaty (1923) reshaped the landscape of south-eastern Europe and the Middle East and became a landmark event in the modern history of displacement and refugeedom. The Greek-Turkish population exchange had an eventful afterlife. It became a template for demographic politics and partitions across the globe – from Central Europe (Nazi Germany) to South Asia (India/Pakistan) and the Middle East (Israel/Palestine). This panel brings together scholars working on refugee memory, population transfers, minority politics and interwar international history to reflect on the global dynamics of the Greek-Turkish moment.
