Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
