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
All are welcome to the David Nicholls Memorial Trust Annual Lecture: Accounting for Black Lives: ‘Legacies of Slavery’ Projects at the University of Oxford.
Michael Joseph is a historian of the Caribbean and its diaspora in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and an Assistant Professor in Black British History at the University of Cambridge. He is currently working on two main projects: a comparative history of anti-colonial political thought in five Caribbean islands – Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, Martinique, and Guadeloupe – from c.1914 to 1939; and an introduction to Black British history for a general audience, Black British History: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press). Michael’s published research has touched on a variety of issues: from race, gender, and citizenship in the early twentieth-century Caribbean to the politics of institutional ‘legacies of slavery’ reports. One article won the French History Prize for 2021.
The lecture starts at 4.30pm, with tea and coffee offered from 4.00pm. There will be refreshments after the lecture, followed by an informal College dinner for those who wish to join us. The dinner will cost £10, with no need to book in advance. The lecture will be filmed, and posted on the Trust’s website soon after the event.
