OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

International workshop 'Between Techniques, Politics, and Memory: The Identification of Dead Bodies of Violence (19th–21th Century)'
Workshop organised as part of the research project ‘Mass death, Science and Medicine: Mass Death, Science and Medicine: Handling the Corpses of War in Modern Europe (1850-1960)’ funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and based at the University of Geneva.
Organisation: Taline Garibian (University of Geneva) & Benoît Pouget (Sciences Po Aix, Mesopolhis)
This workshop aims to bring together researchers with an interest in past and present practices of identification in the context of mass violence. Participants from various backgrounds (e.g. history, anthropology, forensics, and humanitarian action) will discuss both historical approaches to identification and current issues. In particular, the workshop will explore how identification has become a key aspect of managing dead bodies in post-conflict settings and the technical, political, and memorial questions this raises.
