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
The conference hopes to discuss how a caste census in India could take forward conversations on representation, access to resources, wealth distribution, and participation of marginalised caste groups in governance and electoral politics. Through six panels with notable names in academia, politics, activism, and performance, the conference aims to raise questions about how the “majority” and “minority” have been constructed in Indian politics, academic writing, and popular culture. It is being organised at the University of Oxford by the South Asia Alternative Forum (St Antony’s College), with the support of the department of Oxford School of Global and Area Studies, the Asian Studies Centre, St Antony’s College, the South Asia Research Cluster (Wolfson College) and the South Asian Society.
