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
In 1984, on a cold December night in Bhopal in India, Union Carbide’s pesticide plant released 40 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas into the air, killing over 3,000 people instantly. Over the next few decades, the poisoning killed many more and debilitated the health of lakhs of survivors and their next generations.
In this interactive session, we will remember what led to the poisonous gas leak, the environmental activism in its aftermath, how Union Carbide received impunity from the American and Indian states and what the incident means for us today.
