On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us at the OMSS conference on ‘Transformation and Resilience’ with 8 exciting panels on migration and climate change, colonialism, securitisation, gender and a key-note speech from human rights activist Seán Binder.
Seán is a strong advocate for migrant rights who was arrested in August 2018 for a number of serious criminal offences connected to migrant search and rescue work he carried out as a volunteer for a humanitarian NGO in Lesbos, Greece. He was charged with a number of serious criminal offences including facilitation of illegal entry (smuggling), money laundering, espionage and membership in a criminal organisation. This case represents a criminalisation of solidarity; saving lives is not a crime. This case is demonstrative of a wider policy of deterrence of asylum seekers across Europe, in which people are not only criminalised for seeking asylum themselves, but also for acting in solidarity.
