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
The topic of the central government’s administration in Tibet during the Republican era is understudied. Academic research in this area tends to focus on the Tibet Office and other administrative institutions, as well as high-level officials such as Kong Qingzong, neglecting the individual staff members and lower-level officers stationed in Tibet during this period. Based on the newly discovered ‘Lhasa Diary’ by Dai Xinsan (1907‒1997), an officer at the Tibet Office, this research is a case study of the detailed experiences of the Chinese officers stationed in Tibet during the Republican period, revealing the exchanges and intermingling of various ethnic groups in Tibet at that time, and the dynamics in the relationship between the National Government and the local government of Tibet.
