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
You are warmly invited to participate in a History Faculty “teach-in”. The ethos of the event will be to encourage an inclusive, non-hierarchical discussion of a number of themes around the central subject, such that different views and perspectives are heard and acknowledged.
The participants at the event will be History Faculty students and staff, and each of the themes discussed will be co-facilitated by one student and one staff member.
The themes for discussion are:
Oxford and Colonialism “then”:
a) Oxford and Empire
b) The teaching of African History
Oxford and Colonialism “now”
c) “X must fall”; signage, symbols, portraiture
d) The lived experience of students now, curriculum and staffing
Tea and coffee will be available from 9.15am, and we will start the discussions at 9.30am, aiming to finish around 12 noon. A sandwich lunch will be available between 12 and 1
