OxTalks is Changing
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
Assembling the 'Palace of Nations': borderland federalisms and internationalist imaginations between Tsarism and Soviet power, 1917-1922
Marcel Garboś joined the Aberdeen History Department and the Centre for Polish-Lithuanian Studies in February 2024 following the award of a three-year British Academy International Fellowship for a project entitled “Federalism and the Fate of Europe’s Borderlands: The Transnational Search for Alternatives to Empire and Ethnic Nationalism in Eastern Europe, 1880s–1960s.” While earning his undergraduate degree from Bard College at Simon’s Rock in 2014, he developed his interests in social and political thought in Eastern Europe, with broad focuses on the comparative history of empires and visions of post-imperial order in the modern world. He completed his doctorate in the History Department at Harvard University in 2021 with a dissertation entitled “The Clash of Internationalisms: ‘Prometheism, National Communism, and the Fate of the Soviet Borderlands, 1889-1939.” Between 2022 and 2023, Marcel taught at Columbia University, where he was István Deák Visiting Professor of East Central European Studies, at George Mason University, and at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. In 2023, he held a Title VIII Research Scholarship at the Kennan Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. His work has appeared in Europe-Asia Studies, Harvard Review, Rocznik Przemyski, and The Slavonic and East European Review.
