OxTalks is Changing
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
Dreaming of Europe: Work refugees and the migration crisis
In association with the Russian and Eurasian Studies Centre (RESC)
The talk will explore the current ‘refugee crisis’ in Europe. Drawing on in-depth interviews with refugees and NGOs in Europe and Africa, it will examine the drivers of forced migration, explain why it is at a historical high, and propose solutions that (a) assuage hostile European publics and (b) respect member states’ obligations under international law to refugees. The talk will argue that European asylum systems are currently overwhelmed, and states appear to have lost control of their borders, because of a cross-continent denial of European economies’ – and European consumers’ – structural dependence on cheap migrant labour.
