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 to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Decolonising approaches to Peacebuilding & Transitional Justice
In-person, all welcome, no need to register.
‘Decolonising peacebuilding’ challenges the dominance of Eurocentric, top-down models that have shaped international interventions, calling instead for approaches grounded in the histories, knowledge systems, and political struggles of communities most affected by conflict.
Bringing together scholars and practitioners, this discussion examines methodological approaches used to decentre power hierarchies in knowledge production and practice within peacebuilding and transitional justice, including reflective and accountable positioning and the privileging of marginalised and subalternised knowledge through spiritual, creative and other methodologies.
