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
This talk will examine how Poland’s experiences during the Second World War have shaped its contemporary collective mentality and political landscape, with a particular focus on the prevalence of conspiracy beliefs and low social trust. It will explore the direct impact of wartime trauma on Polish worldviews, as well as the lingering effects of trauma reminders on subsequent generations. Furthermore, the talk will address distortions in historical narratives and the challenges of properly acknowledging Holocaust history, which have arisen from Poland’s unprocessed and unacknowledged traumatic past.
