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 Allies Book Club is a book club that seeks to allow its members to take ownership of their own education on race and racism. The club is a space for those who want to be allies to unpick their inherited racial biases and interrogate their own relationship with white supremacy. It is an open and non-judgemental space for learning and self-development. We read a variety of texts that cover race, ethnicity, and religion. These texts are chosen to challenge white supremacist narratives and biases. Members are involved in selecting texts and raising recommendations, which can be books, podcasts, poems, or any other type of media. Our focus is on doing the work needed to become better allies to BIPOC.
