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.
SPECIAL EVENT – Reading Group in collaboration with Race Equality Action Group (REAG)
This reading group session is the first of a new series of termly conversations on the challenges and possibilities of teaching, researching, and learning about the history of race in the modern university. Established as part of a collaboration between the Oxford Transnational and Global History Seminar and the History Faculty’s Race Equality Action Group (REAG), our readings predominantly focus on the discipline of History but all members of the University, especially students at any stage of their studies, are welcome to attend.

2. Jordanna Bailkin, ‘Where Did the Empire Go? Archives and Decolonization in Britain’, American Historical Review, 120, 3 (2015)
3. Robbie Shillam, ‘Black/Academia)’, in Gurminder Bhambra et al (eds), Decolonising the University, ch. 4.
Attendees are encouraged to read at least one piece in advance. Meetings will take place on Zoom – booking required.
